The Sumatran plant has narrower leaves and stipules. 
This plant is allied to G. laiifolia, Mast, but is glabrous and has 
large persistent stipules.

3 to 4 in. long, *75 to i in. wide; petioles -i in. long, pubescent. In¬ 
florescence axillary, peduncle -i in. long; branches as long, hairy 
or glabrescent. “ Sepals 5, ovate, tomentose outside. Petals 5, 
half as long, oval-elliptic, lower half outside velvety. Nectary 
surrounded with a fringe of hairs. Stamens numerous; filaments 
velvety at base. Ovar>' hairy; style glabrous.” Fruit 4-lobed, as

I have seen no flowers of this, the description of them is from 
Pierre. The plants are much less hairy than the Indian type. A 
specimen from Laos (Harmand) differs only in the more serrate 
leaves.
