Editorial Note
The text below is adapted from Bean to reflect the updated taxonomy.
This species is allied to G. forrestii and was discovered by Forrest at the same time and in the same locality. It differs in its more finely tapered, less closely toothed leaves, which are not markedly paler green beneath than above. The bracteoles on the flower-stalks are not situated near the calyx as in G. forrestii, but lower down. The plant figured in Bot. Mag., t. 9228, was grown by E. J. P. Magor of Lamellen, Cornwall, raised from seeds sent home by Forrest, but under what number is not known.
[From the Supplement (Vol. V)]
In cultivation from seeds collected in Nepal by A. D. Schilling, and SBEC 0083 from Yunnan is probably this taxon.
