There are two specimens in the Calcutta Herbarium of G. breviros- 
tris, Scheff er, named by the author himself; and they agree absolutely 
with Wallieh's No. 4873. This specios is quite distinct from Gri Hub's 
No. 858 (Kew Dist.) from Malacca, which Pierre not only reduces here, 
but of which he figures (tab. 90 E. F.) the flowers as the flowers of this. 
This species does not appear to be a common one. Specimens of other 
tilings appear to have been so much confounded with it, that I forbear 
to quote more synonyms than G. brevirostris,
