pedicels 0-| in. ; bracts J in., and bractpoles J in., ovate-lanceolate, the latter close 

 to the ovary or more distant in the lower longer pedicels. Calyx-teeth j'j in., usually 

 acute in fruit. Corolla 5 by J in., -widely tubular, nearly glabrous -without, green, 

 green-yellow or whitish. Anther-cells each with 2 terminal bristles. Fruit | in. 

 diam., brown hairy, surrounded by the deep-blue enlarged calyx. — Dimorphic flowers 

 occur, with short stamens and anthers not produced upwards nor horned ; see Wight's 

 figures quoted above. 



Var. racemosa. Hook. f. ; leaves lanceolate narrowed at both ends, racemes 

 numerous 4-5 in. flexuose. — Sikkim, J. B. H. — Leaves 4J by \ in., racemes very 

 narrow, the uppermost pedicels \ in. with the braeteoles hardly above the middle. 



Var. hirsuta, Gardner ms. (sp.) ; branches bristly, leaves elliptic obtuse or 

 rounded at both ends often bristly beneath. — Ceylon, alt. 6-7000 ft. ; Gardner, 

 Thwaiies, &o. 



5. G. Hookerl, Clarke ; branches hispid, leaves elliptic not acuminate,

A shrub, 6 ft. Leaves 2 by 1 in., suddenly or shortly acute, base usually rounded, 

 serrate, punctate and usually bristly beneath ; petiole 0-J in. Sacemes 1-2 in. ; 

 pedicels | in. ; bracts often 4- in., elliptic ; braeteoles ^ in., elliptic, usually about the 

 middle of the pedicel. Calyx nearly or quite glabrous. Corolla and frmt as in G. 

 fragrantissima (Hooker, however, denotes the flowers as "pink and white"). — -This 

 may be an alpine form of G. fragrantissima, analogous to var. hirsuta, of that species ; 

 but the bracteate racemes give it a different aspect. 



Var. angustifolia ; leaves lanceolate 2j by | in. narrowed at both ends. — tjikkim; 

 Yakla, alt. 9-10,000 ft., C. B. Clarke.

 and elliptic caudate-acuminate closely serrulate, racemes pubescent, braeteoles 

 often remote from the ovary, calyx-teeth. ovate-oblong not acute on liie fruit.

 J. D. H., &c. 



A stout shrub, branches round. Leaves 5 by 1 1 in., base rhomboid, coriaceous, 

 glabrous rarely sparsely hirsute from the punctations of the under surface ; petiole 

 y in. Sacemes 2-3 in. ; pedicels f in. ;' bracts |-1 in., ovate ; braeteoles ^^ in., ovate, 

 often below the middle of the pedicels. Calyx-teeth usually obtuse, always less acute

Anther-cells without apical horns. Otherwise as Gaxdtherin. — Distbib. 

 Species 10, Malayan. 



The calyx is sometimes adnate more or less to the ovary ; and in D. semi-infera 

 (provisionally attached to the genus here) is at least semi-adnate in the young 

 flower.
