flowers subglobose, 1 mm in diameter, the stylar column then almost 
equal to it, crown-shaped, soon by the widening of the ovary much 
narrower than it and often subhemispherical, 0.8 mm long, 5-grooved : 
capsules depressed-globose, 4 mm long, 8 mm in diameter, 10-grooved, 
5-celled, the seeds 3 mm long. 
A tree attaining a height of 8 m with a trunk 20 cm in diameter, 
glabrous throughout, the ultimate branchlets purplish or blackish, angled 
or very narrowly winged : leaves borne on petioles 4r- 5 mm long, the 
lamina subcoriaceous, oblong-lanceolate or lanceolate, 8.5-12.5 cm long, 
3.5-5 cm wide, at the apex abruptly contracted into a narrow acumen 
1 cm long or less, at the equilateral or slightly inequilateral base acute, 
truncate, or slightly cordate, and when viewed from the upper surface seen 
to wing the petiole very narrowly, usually to its insertion, the upper 
surface bluish-green, the under surface usually more or less brownish 
when dry; primary lateral veins on each side of the midrib 7-10.

Closely allied to O. zeylanicum (Gaertn. ) A. Juss., of which I have no material 
for comparison. To W. W. Smith, Esq., of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Calcutta, 
I am greatly indebted for the following note. “For. Bur. 29 7 Gammill does not 
agree with our (3) types of this (S. India, Perrottet’s collection), it has quite 
a different facies and all ours are besides very pubescent. G. nitidum Dalz. & 
Gibs., ( considered a glabrous state of G. zeylanicum by Hooker but not by King ) , 
is still more distinct.”

Arbor parva vel frutex pubescens : floribus numerosis, pedicellatis, 
pedunculis extra-axillaribus suffultis ; masculinis pedicellis 8-10 mm 
longis suffultis, antheris 4 vel 5 ; femineis pedicellis brevioribus cras- 
sioribus suffultis, ovario depresso-globoso, pubescente, 4- vel 5-loculari, 
columna stylari subovoidea : foliis lanceolatis vel ellipticis, basi rotundatis 
vel acutis, apice breviter acuminatis. 
Flowers in subumbellate fascicles, borne on peduncles 5-7.5 mm long, 
inserted above the leaf-axils, a few fascicled male flowers rarely interven- 
ing, both sexes often in the same fascicle : male flowers borne on slender 
pedicels 8-10 mm long, perianth-segments 6, in two rows, ovate or elliptic, 
the apex rounded or acuminate, those of the outer 2-2.5 mm long, the 
inner somewhat smaller; anthers 4 or 5, 1 mm long, the connectives 
shortly produced: female flowers on stouter pedicels 2,5-3 mm long, 
perianth-segments 6, in two rows, similar to those of the male; ovary 
depressed-globose, 1.5-2 mm in diameter, pubescent, 4- or 5-celled; stylar
