•2 to 4 in. Male Jloirers *25 in. in diam., in umhols of 3 to 8, on the 
apices of the branches, or from the axils of leaves or of fallen leaves ; 
pedicels *25 to 5 in., slender. Sepals orbicular, fleshy, concave. Petah 
longer than the sepals, oblong-, obtuse, concave. Stamens about 20, 
forming a tetragonal mass inserted on a convex receptacle, the filaments 
very short ; anthers broad, cuneate with flat tops, 4-celled with vertical 
delii.soonce, the connective thick ; pistil 0. Female flowers apetalons, 
solitary, or in clusters of 2 to 5, axillary \ ovary ovoid, 5 or 7-celled ; 
stigma largo, convex with a central smooth depression, bearing many 
black papilla, and obscurely 5- to 7-lobed ; staminodes about 8 to 10, 
not branched, their heads flat. Fruit- ovoid-globose, "5 to "75 in. in diam., 
orange-coloured, pulpy, with a thick fleshy apiculous crowned by the 
persistent stigma. Hook. fi]. PI. Br. Tnd. I, 2ti3. Pierre Flore Forest.

This is one of the commonest species of tho genus. The pulpy 
fruit is eaten by the aborigines. Griff. No. 854 and Maingay Nos. 152 
and 162 are the specimens on which Planchon founded tho species. Griff. 
Nos. 865 and 867 (referred by Planchon and Triana and also by Pierre 
to O. Kydiana, Roxb.) In my opinion fall here, as also does G. umbel I if era* 
Wall Cat. 4864, but Anderson reduces the latter to G. Cowa, Linn. Pierre's 
figure, (t. 81, fig, F.), which he names S. nigro-lineata, does not represent 
the flowers of the type specimons in the Calcutta Herbarium which bear 
the numbers which Pierre quotes. I fear therefore that there must 
have been some confusion in the distribution of the GrifEthian collec- 
tions. 
It is quite possible that the description which I have given above 
may cover two species. The specimens with lanceolate-acuminate leaves 
have rather more erect and fainter nerves than these with ovate-lanceolate 
caudate- acuminate leaves. But, although I have dissected a large num- 
ber of the male flowers of each, I cannot detect any tangible difference. 
Unfortunately I have been able to find very few female flowers. An 
examination of Miqnol's type specimen of his HJrinnstupna- ptirvij'olium 
leaves no doubt whatever that it is identical with Planchon's G. niijro- 
lineata. 
I never find the petals reflexed : but Anderson, in Hook, til, Fl. 
Br. Ind. (1. a), describes them, and Pierre (1. c), figures them, as reflexed 
from about the middle.
