Lvs. large, ovate or spatulate, alternate, serrate: fls. showy on 1-fld. somewhat umbelled peduncles; calyx-tube turbinate, the border entire or 4-6-lobed; petals 6-8, nearly equal; stamens many, in many series, annulate or cupulate; ovary 4-6-celled: fr. a fibrous few-seeded berry.—Some of the species may be found in choice collections of warmhouse plants, but only J. speciosa, Kuntze (Gustavia speciosa, DC.), from Colombia, seems to be offered in this country (S. Calif.). Tree: lvs. thick, oblong-lanceolate, acuminate, narrowed at base, entire, punctulate above, reticulate beneath, about 3 1/2 in. long: fls. fascicled, fragrant. 6-petaled, white, 2-3 in. long; calyx nearly entire and with the pedicel tomentose.

J. gracillima, Miers. (Gustavia gracillima, Miers). Slender tree,glabrous: fls. 4 in. diam., rose-red, solitary or in pairs, from the lf-axils on young plants and on the wood in old plants: lvs. close together, recurved, to 18 in. long, oblanceolate or much narrower, serrate. Colombia. B.M. 6151. G.Z. 21, p. 49.—J. pterocarpa, Nieds. (G. pterocarpa, Poit.). Fls. with 6 large obtuse white petals; calyx deeply 5-6-lobed; ovary 5-winged: lvs. thick, long-petioled, obovate-lanceolate, entire or very nearly so, acuminate: style elongated. Guiana. B.M. 5239.—J. superba, Kuntze (G. superba. Berg. G. insignis, Lind.). Shrub or small tree: corolla5-6 in. diam., cream-white, outside tinged rose: lvs. dark green and glossy, obovate-lanceolate, acuminate, much attentuate at base, sessile or nearly 90, spinulose-toothed.
