COMMENTSThe leaves of G. chimborazensis are lanceolate, and the costa are excurrent, end below or in the apex. There is a variation in the apex and lamina. The apex could be acute to sharply acuminate, which can be found in one specimen.The lamina is usually plane, but also can be undulate.
G. macrorrhyncha is very similar to G. chimborazensis in having lanceolate leaves. It differs from G. chimborazensis in having a stoutly excurrent costa.
