to *25 in. long ... ... 1. G. parvifolius. 
2. Inflorescence rusty-tomentose; flowers 
*4 in. long ... ... 2. C. grandifolius. 
1. Ctenolophon parvifolius, Oliver in Trans. Linn. Soc. XXVIII, 
516, t. 43. A tree; young brauches terete, purplish when fresh, cinere¬ 
ous when dry. Leaves opposite, coriaceous, elliptic or oblong-elliptic, 
entire, shortly and obtusely acuminate, the base cuneate or rounded ; 
upper surface shining, the lower dull, both glabrous ; main nerves 
about 10 pairs, faint, spreading, forming a double series of arches 
within the edge ; length 2*5 to 4*5 in., breadth 1*25 to 2 in., petiole *3 
to *5 in. Panicles terminal and axillary, shorter than the leaves, con¬ 
densed, minutely cano-tomentose ; bracts ovoid-deltoid, minute, decidu¬ 
ous ; pedicels stout, about as long as the calyx. Flowers *2 to *25 in. 
long, oblong. Calyx-lobes sub-rotund, concave, minutely tomentose 
outside, sub-glabrous inside. Petals coriaceous, erect, oblong, concave, 
four times as long as the calyx, minutely pale tomentose on the back, 
the imbricate edges and inner surface glabrous. Anthers ovate, adnate, 
much shorter than the filaments. Ovary ovoid-globose, woolly, 2-celled, 
surrounded at the base by an annular disc : style long, cylindric, glabrous, 
2-furrowed. Fruit ellipsoid, slightly obovoid, apiculate, striate, *6 to 
*75 in. long, minutely pale tomentose; the pericarp woody, splitting on 
one side when ripe. Seeds with an imperfect pectinate arillus. Masters

2. Ctenolophon grandifolius, Oliver in Trans. Linn. Soc. XXVIII, 
517, t. 43, figs. 8 to 10. A tree; the young branches pale, sparsely 
lenticellate. Leaves oblong-elliptic, shortly acuminate, 3*5 to 5 in. long 
and 1*5 to 1*75 in. broad, otherwise as in G. parvifolius. Panicles ter¬ 
minal or axillary, almost as long as the leaves, more or less open and 
spreading, minutely rusty-tomentose ; bracts scale-like, caducous ; pedi¬ 
cels longer than the calyx. Floivers *4 in. long. Calyx and petals as in 
G. parvifolius , but rufous- instead of pale-tomentose. Ovary as in G. 
parvifolius , but the ovarian cavity shorter. Fruit unknown. Masters

This species is much rarer than the last. In fact I have seen no 
other specimens than Maingay’s. It closely resembles G. parvifolius 
Oliver., the only tangible differences that I can discover (in the absence
