But the description states that the stamens aresometimes in five groups, as in G. speciosa and the American The ovary is described as ovoid which indicates anarrowing upwards to the five subconnate styles. Surely it is agood Gordonia! It was obtained on Mount Merapi in Sumatra. G. imbricata, King, in Journ. Asiatic Soc. Bengal, lix, 1890,p. 204, has a distinctly zerophytic appearance. Two flushes of itsfoliage are figured below. The leaves are seen to be small andentire. They are harsh and thick with the margins slightly re-volute. The flowers are only cm. in diameter. The ovary R. A. Soc, No. 76, 1917. 158 GORDONIA. narrows into the style. It occurs on the mountains of Pahang,both on Gunong Tahan and Gunong Benom at Kluang Figure 15. A branch of G. imbricata showing two flushes, a. a. theperiodic reduced leaves, reduced to £ from Ridley, 16021. G. Scortechinii, King, in Journ. Asiatic Soc, Bengal, lix,1890, p. 24, might be described as G. imbricata with an admixtureof G. Maingayi. Its branches however are more slender than inthe first of these two and its flowers are recorded as remarkablysmall, the stamens being no more than 30. The locality whence itwas obtained is unrecorded except as Perak. G. brevifolia, Hooker fil., in Trans. Linn. Soc. London, xxiii,1860, p. 162, is obviously a close ally of the last two. Its leavesare broadly ovate to obovate, with the condition of the apex flowers are large, being nearly 4 cm. across. It was obtainedon Mount Kinabalu in Borneo at about 8,000 feet. Haemocharis buxifolia, Szyszylowicz, appears to be one ofthis set of Gordonias, and the type specimen should be re-examinedwith this view. It
