S. Domingo (Schomburgk). 
A species easily distinguished from all others : its axils are 
about I- inch apart ; the leaves are 1^-2 inches long, |-1 inch 
broad, on a slender petiole 2^ lines long. The terminal pa- 
nicle does not exceed an inch in length ; the calyx is .3 lines 
long ; the cylindidcal tube of the corolla 4 lines, the lobes of 
the border 2| lines long ; the subglobose drupe is 7 lines in 
diameter.

A species differing from G. velutina in its larger, more fusi- 
form leaves which are minutely scabridulo-pilose above, in 
the longer tube of its corolla, in the insertion of the filaments, 
and mucronate anthers. The axils are 3^ lines apart ; the 
leaves are 2|—4|-' inches long, lf-2^ inches broad, on a petiole 
4-7 lines long ; the panicle is l|-2 inches long ; the calyx is 
2j lines long, with rather long acute teeth ; the tube of the 
corolla 3 lines, its lobes 2| lines long.
