 ing with staminodes, each carpel terminating in a filiform style, ovules 5-9 on the 

 inner angle. Fr. a samara 1 in. long, seed 1. Placed by Prain in 3Ia??somece, a new 

 tribe of Stercullacece, together with TriplocJiiton^ Schumann, an African genus.

 baung forest, Mergui district, 6 il. only, 1. cordate, margin sinuate, blade 3-6, pet. 

 1-2 in., upper side with lew minute stellate hairs, underside densely clothed with 

 round shining scales, consisting of radiating cells. PI. unisexual, in bud enclosed in 

 a bag of 3 valvate membranous bracteoles, stellately hairy outside. Sepals 5, lan- 

 ceolate, coriaceous, |-1 in. long, ou.tside densely clothed with stellate hairs. Petals 5, 

 broadly ovate, almost reniform, base slightly cordate, shortly unguiculate, large oil 

 cavities between the reticulate veiiis. Stamens 60-80, iilaments glabrous, the base 

 slightly connate in 5 bundles, anther-cells 2, parallel, attached to the thick connective, 

 pollen-grains large, globose, aculeate. A new genus which cannot be named without 

 the ? fi. and fruit.

„ „ G salvifolia, Vern. BUud, Sind. Behar. Chutia Nagpur. Orissa. 

 „ 98. G. asiatica and leptopetala I regard as two parallel polymorphous species, the 

 petals of the former with a distinct claw and a well developed gonophore, while the 

 petals of G. lejjtopetala have no claw and no distinct gonophore. These species are 

 parallel, because their forms exhibit the same variation in regard to hairiness and 

 the shape of leaves. The figure of G." elastica, Eoyle 111. t. 22 apparently belongs to 

 O, leptojMala, Another possible view is, that the claw of the petals and the gono- 

 phore are variable characters. Against this stands the fact that a number of species 

 in Asia and Africa are characterized by the absence of claw and gonophore. Foresters 

 in India will have abundant opportunities of settling this question, not by examining 

 isolated herbarium specimens, but by studying these difficult species in Gardens and 

 in the Forest.
