on each side of the midrib 7 or 8, those in the middle of the leaf about 
1.5 cm apart, forming a definite lateral vein about 3 mm from the margin; 
stipules acicular-lanceolate, 4 mm long, substrigose.

Allied to G. triandrum, but differing in the stylar column, the pedicels, the 
shape, texture and venation of the leaves.

The leaf of Cuming’s number, which represents the type collection in this 
herbarium, is more pubescent than those of any of the others here cited, they 
being glabrous with one exception which approaches the type in this respect. 
All agree well in the character of the style, and while the leaves are variable in 
size and shape, they have a strong general likeness, which would be more satisfying 
if those of G. album did not parallel them. These two species can not possibly 
be united without abandoning the last hope of separating Hemiglochidion into 
subsections.

It seems impossible to separate the two series of plants here considered, 
although at first sight they seem to differ in the size petioles texture and apices 
of the leaves. The flowers _are quite the same, and the additional collections here 
enumerated unite the types in every particular. The description suggests close 
alliance with G. velutinum Wight, of India, and T am further indebted to Mr. 
Smith for the following. “Of the 4 allied specimens forwarded none come near 
typical G. velutinum (nepalense) . The type specimens of Wight and Wallicli 
of this species are quite distinct from these Philippine ones, larger and very 
pubescent.”
