CmTTAGONG, Soxburgh, &c.; Eangoon, M'Clelland; jVIaetaban, at Moulmein, 

 Falconer, &o. 



A deciduous tree 25-30 ft. ; branches stout, youngest hairy ; buds resinous. 

 Leaves greenish when dry, 6-12 by 3-5 in., Bhining on both surfaces ; nerves about 20 

 pair; stipules -I in., connate, lanceolate. i''foa)er«subsessile, terminal, •white changing 

 to yellow, fragrant. Calyx-limb cylindric, shining, thin ; mouth obscurely lobed, 5- 

 angled, caducous. Corolla-tube 2-4 in., puberulous; limb 3-i in. diam., lobes broad 

 obtuse or acute. Fruit 1 in. long, smooth between the ribs ; endocarp thick, woody. 

 — In Eoxburgh's drawings and Wallich's specimens of G. eostata the calyx-limb is 

 tubular, rather scarious, and cleft on one side, the mouth oblique. There are no 

 fruits on "Wallich's specimens. The endocarp is represented in Eoxburgh's drawings 

 as thin, but described as thick in the "Plora Indica." Wallich's specimens of G. 

 coronaria have a thick woody endocarp, and shorter more coriaceous calyx-tube. 



6. G-, carinata, Wall, in Foxb. Fl. Ind. ed. Caray Sr Wall. ii. 560 ; 

 Cat. 8271 ; leaves subseasile obovate shortly acuminate shining above more or 

 less pubescent beneath, calyx-limb 5-winged below the truncate mouth, corolla 

 6-9-lobed, tube 1 in., fruit ellipsoid 5-ribbed, placentas 2. 



Penang, Poi-ter ; Malacca, Maingay (Kew Distrib. 837). 



Closely allied to G. eoronaria ; differing in the thick wings of the truncate calyx- 

 limb, which are sometimes produced quite up to its mouth and elongated into large 

 teeth, and are decurrent on the peduncle; the corolla-tube is only 1 in. in all Wal- 

 lich's specimens, though he describes it as " very long." The endocarp of the fruit 

 is thin, as in that described imder G. coronaria. Leaves in some of Maingay's 

 specimens 16 by 7 in. and membranous. 



7. G-. tubifera, Wall, in Fo.vb. Fl. Ind. ed. Carey §■ Wall. ii. 562 ; Cat. 

 8266 ; leaves obo vate-lanceolate abruptly acuminate glabrous or puberulous on the 

 nerves beneath, calyx J in. limb elongate oboonic terete, mouth truncate, corolla- 

 tube many times longer than the calyx very slender, fruit globose, endocarp very 

 thick and ■woody, placentas 5-8. DC. Prodr. iv. 381. G. resinifera. Forth, in

Subarboreoiis, young parts resinous. Leaves 5-9 in., shortly petloled, much nar- 

 rower at the base, coriaceous ; nerves 12-14 pair; petiole ^1 in.: stipules short, 

 sheathing. Flowers subsessile. Calyx f in. long, gradually dilated upwards, terete. 

 Corolla-tube 1^-3 in., limb 1 in. diam., lobes 6-9 short. Fruit l-lj in. diam., 

 smooth or obscurely ribbed, crowned with the trumpet-like calyx-limb 1|-| in. 

 long ; endocarp j in. thick, very hard. Seeds rather large. 



8. C speciosa, Hook. le. PI. t. 824 (Randia) ; leaves petioled obovate- 

 oblong tip rounded or cuspidate, nerves puberulous beneath, calyx Ii in. limb 

 elongate obconic terete, mouth truncate, corolla-tube many times longer than 

 the calyx. 



SiNGAPOBE, Lobb. 



Leaves 4-6 in. by 2 in., much broader than in G. iwbifera, rounder at the tip, more 

 abruptly narrowed at the base ; nerves 12-14 pair; petiole longer; stipules short, 

 sheathing. Calyx-tube longer and broader. Corolla-tube much stouter, 3-3| in.; 

 limb 6-9-lobed, 4 in. diam. ; lobes narrowly ovate-oblong, obtuse. Fruit unknown.
