Though the specimens of this plant in the Linnean Society's Herbarium exhibit 

 neither iruit nor flowers, we have thought it right to give a description of the spe- 

 cies, which is uot nearly related to any other with which we are acquainted within 

 our limits, except the follovving, to which it is apparently very closely allied, though 

 quite distinct. It is also, to aE appearance, very near G. maerophylla, Blume (Fl. 

 Javas), from which it differs chiefly by its smaller leaves, which are more silvery and 

 less hairy beneath. Its evident close relationship to that species induces us to trans- 

 fer it from Uvaria to Gnaiteria, a step which we should otherwise have hesitated 

 to take till better materials were available.

 basi rotundatis, floribus monoicis secus ramos subsessilibus fasciculatis
