I have examined the type specimens of Miqnel's G. bancana and 
Lamfonga> and I believe them to belong to one and the same species. 
One of his Sumatran specimens of G. Lamponga bears, however, besides 
leaves of the Bhape described above, some that are broadly elliptic. 
Pierre reduces to this two more of Miquel's Sumatran species, namely, 
O. oxyedra and G. ? oxyphylla (Fl. Ind. Bat. Suppl. 404, 495) ; but of 
these I have not seen Miquel's types.
