A shrub, 8-10 ft. Leaves 2| by 1 in., base cuneate ; petiole | in. Cymes 3-12- 

 fld. ; bracts | in. lanceolate; pedicels 0^ in. Calyx ^ in. long and broad; teeth 

 small, triangular. Corolla-tube J in., funnel-shaped upwards. Stamens inserted about 

 the middle of the corolla-tube amidst hair. Berry spherical, " blue," Thwaites. — 

 Eesembles the smaller-leaved forms of G. Koenigii forma thyrsijlora, and does not 

 much differ but by the stamens (with the ring of hairs) being situated lower down 

 the corolla-tube, a point not properly shown in Wight's figure. 



Vab. Garckieri; leaves If by J in. linear-lanceolate, cymes 3-1-flowered obscurely 

 pubescent, flowers rather smaller. G. Gardneri, Thwaites Enwm. 202. — Ceylon.

Branchlets minutely pubescent. Leaves | by i in. Flowers as G. Walheri var. 

 Gardneri. — Thwaites calls this a very beautiful and distinct species, but sends a 

 specimen stated to be " an undoubted hybrid between G. Gardneri and G. temi- 

 folia ; " some of the leaves on his specimens of G. Gardneri (C. P. n. 363) are 

 ternately whorled: Mr. Bentham considers all to be merely high-level forms of 

 G. Walkeri.
