702 ADDENDA 



slightly cordate, blade 3-5 by 1-2 in., pet. J in., stipules lanceolate, deciduous. Fl. 

 bi-sexual, in axillary pedunculate minutely stellate-pubescent compound corymbs, 

 pedicels fascicled, J in. long. Calyx spathaceous, enclosing the bud, stellately pubes- 

 cent outside. Petals 5, obovate, contorted in bud, J in. long. On a slender gynophore 

 J-J in. long, 10 stamens, ifilaments longer than the versatile one-celled anthers. 

 Between stamens and carpels 5 oblanceolate petaloid staminodes. Carpels 5, alternat- 

 ing with staminodes, each carpel terminating in a filiform style, ovules 5-9 on the 

 inner angle. Fr. a samara 1 in. long, seed 1. Placed by Prain in Mansoniece, a new 

 tribe of Sterculiacece, together with Triplochiton, Schumann, an African genus. 



A tree, also called Kalamet, and reported to yield scented wood, in the Kywe-thon- 

 baung forest, Mergui district, <J fl. only, 1. cordate, margin sinuate, blade 3-6, pet. 

 1-2 in., upper side with few minute stellate hairs, underside densely clothed with 

 round shining scales, consisting of radiating cells. Fl. unisexual, in bud enclosed in 

 a bag of 3 valvate membranous bracteoles, stellately hairy outside. Sepals 5, lan- 

 ceolate, coriaceous, f-1 in. long, outside densely clothed with stellate hairs. Petals 5, 

 broadly ovate, almost reniform, base slightly cordate, shortly unguiculate, large oil 

 cavities between the reticulate veins. Stamens 60-80, filaments glabrous, the base 

 slightly connate in 5 bundles, anther-cells 2, parallel, attached to the thick connective, 

 pollen-grains large, globose, aculeate. A new genus which cannot be named without 

 the ? fl. and fruit.

 Upper Shan States, 3,500 ft. A shrub, branchlets and 1. with simple hairs, 1. lan- 

 ceolate, serrate, 2-5 in. long. Fl. snow-white, crowded in axillary fascicles all along 

 the slender branches ; pedicels slender, £ in. long, above the base with a -whorl of 3 

 lanceolate bracteoles. Calyx glabrous, of 5 nearly free sepals, petals obliquely obovate. 

 Stamens 15, five groups of 3 each, alternating with 5 linear staminodia, longer than 

 stamens. Ovary sessile, stellate-tomentose, 2-5-celled, 2 ovules in each cell, fr. unknown.

 „ 98. G. asiatica and leptopetala I regard as two parallel polymorphous species, the 

 petals of the former with a distinct claw and a well developed gonophore, while the 

 petals of G. leptopetala have no claw and no distinct gonophore. These species are 

 parallel, because their forms exhibit the same variation in regard to hairiness and 

 the shape of leaves. The figure of G. elastica, Boyle 111. t. 22 apparently belongs to 

 G. leptopetala. Another possible view is, that the claw of the petals and the gono- 

 phore are variable characters. Against this stands the fact that a number of species 

 in Asia and Africa are characterized by the absence of claw and gonophore. Foresters 

 in India will have abundant opportunities of settling this question, not by examining 

 isolated herbarium specimens, but by studying these difficult species in Gardens and 

 in the Forest.
