the 5-cleft stellate calyx, marked with lines, brownish. Calycine 
segments slightly ciliated. Stigma pentagonal.

Alph. D. C. in Lin. trans. 17. p. 110.) glabrous; leaves ovate, 
bluntish, entire, narrowed into the petioles ; umbels axillary, pen- 
dulous, one-half shorter than the petioles ; flowers pentandrous ; 
teeth of calyx ovate, acute, small; lobes of corolla ovate, acute, 
3 times as large as the calyx ; anthers lanceolate, sessile, inserted

$9 M. Cawanie'wsis (Spreng. syst. 1. p. 663.) leaves oval- 
oblong, bluntish, almost sessile, large, glabrous, coriaceous,

corolla 5-6-cleft: having the lobes linear-lanceolate ; stamens 
inclosed, inserted in the middle of the corolla; anthers acute;

Branches spotted with white. Leaves 4-6 inches long, and 2-4 
broad. Flowers $-8 in a fascicle. Lobes of calyx ovate, obtuse, 
a little ciliated. Berry globose. There are varieties of this 
having the leaves more or less full of pellucid dots, which are

Canary Island Myrsine. Fl.? Clt. 1820. Tree 30-40 feet. 
40 M. pacnysa’npra (Wall. in Roxb. fl. ind. 2. p. 297. cat. 
no. 2284.) branches velvety; leaves lanceolate, acuminated, 
entire, dotted, glabrous above, rather pilose beneath, having the 
lateral nerves arched ; flowers fascicled, pedicellate, hermaphro- 
dite, pentandrous ; calycine lobes ovate, ciliated; corolline lobes 
reflexed ; anthers large, triangular, connate at the time of 
flowering; style acuminated. h. S. Native of Penang and 
Singapore. This is an anomalous species: the dots on the 
leaves and flowers are more like those of Ardisia than Myrsine ; 
but the inflorescence is that of Myrsine. The alabastrum is 
spirally twisted, and the sestivation imbricate. Perhaps a new 
genus.

is entirely unknown to Kunth, see Linnea, 1830. p. 376. It 
is perhaps the same as M. depéndens, which is marked Caballeria 
myrtifolia in Deless. herb.

44 M. saríawA (Alph. D. C. 1. c.) leaves oblong-lanceolate,

flowers pentandrous. b. G. Native of South America.

Cult. The species of this genus grow well in any light rich 
soil, or a mixture of loam, peat, and sand ; and cuttings, not too 
ripe, root readily if planted in a pot of sand, with a hand-glass 
placed over them: those of the tropical species require a little 
heat.
