Very closely allied to G. molle Blume, distinguished not only by the glabrous 
ovary, but by the shorter, less deeply cut, and wider perianth-segments.

The stylar column forms a continuation of the ovary, the styles curving 
inward and usually downward at the apex, leaving a central depression; the 
capsules are strongly depressed, 8-9 mm in diameter, 4-6-celled, 8-12-lobed, at 
the apex with a circular disk, concave at least near its margins, formed from the 
stylar column. It has been a matter of doubt whether this was really a normal 
state, but the capsules mature, and the same structure has been found in different 
localities. The original description of the capsules does not apply, having been 
taken from a plant now referred to a different species.

13. Glochidion breynioides sp. nov. § Hemiglochidion. 
Floribus fasciculatis, axillaribus, pedicellis superne dilatatis suffultis, 
perianthii segmentis utriusque sexus lanceolatis vel oblongo-lanceolatis, 
antheris 3 ; ovario glabra, coliimna stylari ei subsequilata, ovoidea ; foliis 
lanceolatis vel ellipticis, basi insequilateralibus, obtusis vel acutis, apice 
acuminatis. 
Flowers -usually few in a fascicle, those of both sexes borne on pedicels 
3-4.5 mm long, those of the female conspicuously thicker above, usually 
on very short axillary peduncles ; perianth-segments of the male flowers 6, 
lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate, 1.2-1. 5 mm long, obtuse at the apex ; 
anthers 3, 1 mm long including the connectives : female flowers with 
perianth like the males; ovary glabrous, depressed-globose, stylar column 
at the base slightly wider or slightly narrower than the ovary, nearly 
ovate in outline, truncate above, about the same length as the ovary, 5- or 
6-grooved, with as many inconspicuous intervening grooves : capsules 
depressed-globose, glabrous, 7 mm in diameter, 5- or 6-celled, the outer 
walls thin.
