GoNIOTHALAMUS WyNADENSIS. (Bedd.) An erect shrub, young parts very minutely fusco-pubescent otherwise 
glabrous, leaves oblong to oblongo-lanceolate suddenly acuminate attenuate at the base, 8-1 1 inches long by 3 broad, paler beneath, 
petioles 4-6 lines long peduncles 2-3 lines long with 2-3 bracts at the base axillary solitary, or from small knobs on the trunk, flowers 
| to 1 inch long, sepals rounded obtuse or sometimes acute, fusco-pubescent when young at length glabrous, outer petals shortly 
unguiculate fusco-pubescent on both sides at length glabrous and prominently veined, inner petals closely connivent glabrous inside, but 
furnished on the inner face with a deep hairy channel round the upper portion, torus and ovaries hairy, connectivum prolonged 
beyond the anthers into a blunt point, ovaries numerous, style elongate stigma 2-clawed, ovule solitary from the ventral suture just 
above the base, carpels oblong pointed J to 1 inch long. 
Hab. Wynaad, in moist woods about Devala and Cheyrambady—elevation 2,500 to 3,500 feet. I formerly looked upon thi3 
as a new genus on account of its solitary ovule and curious style, and described it and the following under the name of Atrutegia 
(anagram on Guatteria); the ovule is not erect, but close to the base on the ventral suture, and G. Wightii has the same style, and the 
ovules are occasionally solitary though generally twin.

GONIOTHALAMUS CARD10PETALUS. (Dalz.) A shrub or small tree, young parts very minutely fusco-pubescent, 
leaves glabrous oblong to lanceolate suddenly or gradually acuminate, 4-12 inches long 1 \ to 3 inches broad, petioles 4-6 lines long, 
peduncles 2-4 lines long axillary or a little above the axils solitary furnished with 4-6 bracts at the base, flowers when mature nearly 
one inch long densely sericeous when young, sparingly when adult, sepals rounded obtuse or acute, outer petals very thick and boat¬ 
shaped, the concavities receiving the angles of the mitriform cap, formed of the inner connivent petals, connectivum of the anthers pro¬ 
longed into a blunt point, ovaries 13-25 hairy, style elongate stigma 2-clawed, ovule solitary from the ventral suture just above the base, 
carpels oblong pointed nearly 1 inch long. Dalz. in Hook. Kew Journ. Hot. ii. 39 ; — H, and T. FI. Ind. p. 108.—Uvaria obovata,

flowers.

narrow lanceolate, acute at both ends, 4-6 inches long by about 1 inch broad, paler beneath, petioles | inch long, peduncles axillary- 
solitary \ an inch long thickened at the apex, furnished with several bracts at the base, ebracteolate above, flowers f to 1 inch long fusco- 
pubescent at length glabrous, sepals ovate acute, persistent exterior petals ovate, shortly and broadly unguiculate, prominently veined 
when dry, interior petals h an inch long ovate broadly unguiculate closely connivent into a mitriform cap, trapezoid fusco-pubescent on 
the outside and sericeous inside on the upper half, torus truncate, ovaries 14-18 sericeous, style elongate stigma 2-clawed, ovules 1-2 
from the ventral suture—carpels oblong, § inch long, blackish, glabrous.— II. and T. FI. Ind. p. 106, 
Hab. Paupanassum and Attroymallay hills, South Tinnevelly, elevation 3,000 to 5,000 feet—very abundant.

acuminate, subrotund at the base, 6-11 inches long, 1-2| broad, petioles 2-3 lines long sulcate above and slightly winged (from the 
decurrent base of the leaf), peduncles 1 flowered, a little above the axils deflexed \ inch long, bracteate at the base, sepals acute 
deciduous, outer petals linear triangular much attenuated at the apex twice the length of the mitriform cap formed by the inner petals, 
anthers very numerous, connectivum flat triangular dilated, ovaries oblong about 12 strigose 2 ovuled, style long clavate stigma dilated 
2 lubed, lobes square carpels globose reddish brown, 1-2 seeded. Thw. En. PI Zey. p. 7.
