Ramuli foliosi, glabri, cortice nigricante ruguloso ; gemmse fcsco-pubescentes. Folia 

 3^6 poll, longa, \\-%^ lata, pet. J-^-poll., rigida, coriacea, ntrinque glaberrima, 

 supra lucida, subtus pallida, marginibus in sicco reourvis. Pedunculi f-l-poUicarea, 

 apice Bubclavati, ima basi bracteis pluribua minutis squaraBeforiiiibus muniti. Sepala 

 lata, ovata, vis acuta, basi coalita, coriacea, iu fructu persistentia. Petala ext. crasse 

 coriacea, 1^1^ poll, longa, apice obtusiuscula, glabriuscula, subgrauulosa, ungue basi 

 areola depressa oblonga fusco-pubescente notato, int. in mitram ovatam acutam coalita. 

 Ovaria liueari-oblonga, strigosa, stylo subulate pauUo longiore. Torus planus. Car- 

 pella numerosa vel abortu pauca, brevissime pediceUata, paullo ultra J poU. longa, 

 ovalia, utrinque obtusa. Semen 1, conforme, testa teuui, papyracea, lievi. 



4. G. Gardner! (H.f. et T.) ; foliis anguste oblongo-lanceolatis 

 basi acutis apice obtusis vel obtuse et breviter acuminatis, pedunculis 

 axillaribus vel paullo supra-axillaribus petioles vix superantibus, flori- 

 bus sesquipollicaribus, petalis exterioribus oblongo-lanceolatis glabris 

 basi vix unguiculatis.

Hamuli prioris. Folia 5-8 poU. longa, 1-2 lata, petiolo -j-poU., crasse coriacea, 

 supra nitida, subtus pallida, nervi crebriores quam in priore specie. Pedunculi -i-^ 

 poU. longi, squamis distichis bracteata. Sepala basi cordata, submembranacea, in sicco 

 nervosa. Petala ext. l|-poll., glabriuscula, basi areola triquetra pubescente notata. 

 Ovaria adpresse pilosa, stylo longe subulato triplo longiore superata. 



Though certainly close to the last species, this appears sufBciently distinct. Its 

 leaves ai-e longer and narrower, and its flowers larger, thau those of 0. Thwaitesii. 

 The fruit is unknown. 



5. G. Malayanus (H.f. et T.) ; foliis lineari-oblongis longe acu- 

 minatis utrinque glaberrimis, pedunculis petiolos parum superantibus, 

 floribus pollicaribus, petalis exterioribus oblongo-lanceolatis pubescen- 

 tibus. 



Hab. In Malaya ad Malacca, Griffith! — (». s.) 



Ramuli elongati, glabri, cortice ruguloso albo ; partes novellEE fusco-tomentosnlffi, 

 cito glabrescentes. Folia basi acutiuscula vel rotundata, 6-9 poU. longa, lf-3 lata, 

 petiolo -J-poU., supra lucida, subtus pallidiora. Pedicelli axiUares, .|-J-poll., fulvo- 

 toraentosi, basi distiche bracteolati, cteterum nudi. Sepala ovata, acuta, tomentosa. 

 Petala exteriora l-l-J-poUicaria, late unguiculata, dorso Hnea longitudinali subcari- 

 nata, tenuissime fusco-sericea, basi areola lata glabra notata ; interiora in mitram 

 extus dense albido-sericeam vix semipoHicem altam coalita. Ovaria dense aureo- 

 sericea, stylo ajquilongo subulato termiuata. Torus fructus globosus, tomentosns. 

 Carpella pollicaxia, elongato-oblonga vel cylindrica, interdum medio parum constricta, 

 apiculata, pediceUo ^ poU. longo suffulta, atro-fusca, granulosa, piBa paucis sparsis 

 aureo-sericeis vestita, demum glabrescentia. 



This species seems identical in foliage with G. giganteus, but is very distinct in 

 the size and structure of the flower.
