New-Guinea: Schlechtet no. 16441, near Wobbe, 200 

 M., flow, on Aug. 30th, 1907. 



Distribution: Amboyna!, Molucca-isl.? (Hallier), New- 

 Guinea ! 



Of G. macrophylla Wall. (1828) and G. macrophylla Benth. 

 (1870) the first is to be retained. So the latter was to be changed 

 (see under G. Dairy mpleana). Its affinity is with G. Dalrympleana, 

 from which it is different, however, by the texture of the leaves 

 and young parts, the obtuse apex, the subequal corolla-lobes, 

 and the yellow (not blue) corolla. 



5. G. lepidota Scheffer, Ann. Jard. bot. Buitzg. I, 41 

 (1876). — A somewhat climbing shrub; branchlets, cymules 

 and petioles ferruginous-pubescent; leaves ovate or ellip- 

 tical, both sides acute, or apex shortly acuminate, glabrous 

 above, shining, with minute dense brown scales beneath; 

 pairs of nerves 4 — 6; 8 — 10 by 4 — 6 cM.; petioles 2V2 

 cM.; inflorescences paniculate, lax, pyramidate, terminal; 

 calyx with 5 short teeth, 0.5 cM.; outer side scaly, in 

 fruit enlarged to 0.8 cM.; corolla large, pubescent without, 

 1.8 cM.; tube thrice the length of the smaller lobes; limb 

 2-lipped, upper lip 2-lobed, lower lip 3-lobed, midlobe 

 longer; stamens 4, with hairy filaments; ovary 4-celled, 

 4-ovuled; drupe 1 cM. long, with one l—3(—4)-celledpyrene. 



Distribution: New-Guinea (Faw-island). 



Its affinity is with G. Leichhardtii F. v. Muell. from tropical 

 Australia. The latter species, however, is a tree and differs from 

 the present one in the texture, arid in the dimensions of calyx 

 and corolla.
