This is clearly near to G Maingayi, as Sir William Thiselton-Dyer pointed out, The flowers are larger and the leaves colour of the flowers is creamy white and their diameter cm. The ovary is represented as narrowing into the style, andthe style as being tubular almost to the top of the ovary. Some-times the stigma is 4-lobed. It is a common tree in the littlepatches of forests which occur in the ravines of the Xilgiri hillschiefly on the eastern side, between 5,000 and 7,000 feet. Fromthe Xilgiri hills it extends southwards and reaches lower levels onthe damp western face of the Tra van core slopes: also it reachesthe Bababuden hills in Mysore. Wight gave the name G. parvifolia to a plant which he obtain-ed in Courtallum with smaller leaves and their margins almosttoothless, but later botanists who have had a right to an opinion,have considered it as not distinct from G. Fig. 7, Capsule of G. hirtella, slightly reduced, from Ridley 7350. Jour. Straits Branch GORDONIA. 149 G. hirtella, Ridley, in Journ. Straits Branch, Eoy. AsiaticSoc, Xo. 73, 1916, p. 142, has foliage like that of G. taipingensis,hut is widely different in its smaller flowers (only 2 cm. in dia-meter) and smaller leaves (up to 14 cm. in length). The capsulesof G. taipingensis being unknown, the comparison cannot proceedto them, but in G. hirtella as the drawing shows they are smalland the lobes after dehiscence are finger-like. The ovary narrowsgradually into the style. G. hirtella occurs on the Central Chain of mountains of theMalay Peninsula from Gunong Batu Puteh in Perak to the west ofTapah, where Wray got it at his lower camp (Wray No. 116)through Bukit Kutu in Selangor at 3,000 feet, (Ridley 7350) toBukit Etam at the same height (Kelsall 18-48) on the Selangor-Negri Sembilan boundary.
