In addition to the above species, Beddome mentions a G. v/mhelKfera, Bedd., from 

 South Canara, with the following imperfect description : " Leaves oblong-ovate, very 

 suddenly pointed asperous, heads of flowers on long stalks axillary or supra-axillary." 

 The same author describes in Linn. Trans, xxv. 210, a species which he calls G. acu- 

 minata (not of Juss.), but of which I have seen no specimen. It is described as a 

 "small tree with glabrous shoots; leaves 4-6 by 2 in. oblong acuminate entire, 

 petiole i in., stipules small subulate ; peduncles very short lateral or axillary 2-5- 

 flowered braoteolate ; sepals covered with ash-coloured pubescence."
