indeed, that it does not possess the same rigidity of stamens 
as that species, or even E. Jambos, but, nevertheless, the 
insertion of the stamens, in a simple series, upon the top of 
the fleshy, distinct tube of the calyx, which is a better 
character, marks its station beyond a doubt. We say 
nothing of the fruit, the seeds not having been fertilized in 
the specimens we examined. 
We are scarcely acquainted, at present, with the result 
of M. Decandolle’s labours upon Myrtaceae, but we believe 
he constitutes a particular genus of E. Jambos. Should 
this be the case, we apprehend that the subject of the 
present plate will form part of that genus, and that in fact 
the Jambosa of Decandolle will be synonymous with 
Eugenia, as we understand that genus.
