fragrant. Fruit globose, 1 in. through, crowned with the short 
remains of the calyx-tube splitting irregularly and orange-coloured 
inside. Hab. Forests. Singapore, Garden Jungle; Changi. 
Malacca, Sungei Hudang (Goodenough); Jus (Cantley). Perak, 
Matang (Wray). Penang Hill (Curtis). Kedah, lower slopes of 
the Kedah Peak. Dislrib. Borneo. Native name: Jambu-Jambu. 
Rather difficult to separate from G. tubifera Wall, in dried specimens, 
but this species is very resinous, the bud and stem being covered with resin, 
the stipules are ciliate and the calyx smaller. 
(9) G. elata Ridl. Journ. Roy. As. Soc. S. By. 79, p. 81.

oblanceolate apiculate, glabrous, base cuneate; nerves 17 pairs, 
sub-horizontal, elevate beneath as are the fine transverse nervules; 
9 in. long, 3*5 in. across; petioles 1 in. long or more. Stipules 
tubular within oblique limb. Flowers solitary, terminal, sub- 
sessile. Calyx-tube funnel-shaped, -3 in. long, limb spathaceous, 
bilobed with 1 long oblong blunt lobe, coriaceous, -5 in. long. 
Corolla-tube 3 in. long, lobes oblong spathulate, tip rounded, 
orange. Stigma thick, fusiform clavate. Hab. In forests. Rare.

(10) G. speciosa Hook. fil'F.B.I. iii. 117 ( Randia ); Ic. Pl. t. 824; 
King, l.e. 221 partly. 
Leaves coriaceous, oblong blunt or very short pointed, base 
very shortly narrowed; nerves strongly elevate beneath and 
depressed above, 12 pairs, midrib, and petiole scurfy, transverse 
nervules fine and visible, 4 to 5*75 in. long, 3*5 to 3-75 in. wide. 
Stipules tubular with a papery lanceolate limb as long as tube, 
■2 in. long. Flower one, terminal, sessile. Calyx 1*25 in. long, 
base very short, cylindric, limb i*i in. long, tubular, gradually 
narrowed upwards, *75 iu- wide at mouth. Corolla-tube 3 iu. long, 
cylindric lobes 7 or 8, broad oblong, tip slightly narrowed, rounded, 
1-5 in. long,-5 in. wade. Stigma clubbed, grooved. Hab. Singapore 
(Lobb). 
I should not include this in our flora except that King states that it 
occurs in Perak. I have not seen his specimens, but his description does 
not at all agree with the type, and suggests G. elata. The locality of Lobb 
is, as usual, extremely doubtful, and I have never seen another specimen of 
the plant from anywhere. 
(n) G. Grifiithii Hook. fil. F.B.I. iii. 118; King, l.c. 221. 
Small tree, slender with few branches, 20 ft. tall. Leaves 
thickly coriaceous, obovate cuspidate, much narrowed at base, 
glabrous above, slightly pubescent beneath; nerves about 13 pairs 
elevate beneath, 5 to 9 in. long, 2-5 to 4 in. wade; petioles -3 in. 
long. Flowers solitary, terminal. Calyx 3-5 in. long, coriaceous, 
tubular, mouth expanded, irregularly lobed. Corolla-tube 4 in. long.
