Ceylon, ascending to 3000 ft., Walker, Tkwaites, 



A moderate-sized tree. Leaves 4-6 by H-l| in. The nervation forms a charac- 

 teristic feature in this species, the lateral nerves uniting in a double system of intra- 

 marginal loopings, the inner one being situated about half-way between the midrib and 

 the margin; petiole J-J in. Flowers large, ^ to nearly 1 in. diam., white, turning to 

 purple. Calyx-tube | to nearly 1 in. long. Petals orbicular, dotted. Fruit h-4 "^' 

 diam.— Blume {Mus, Bot. i. 114) compares this with his Clavimyrtus virens ; but the 

 latter is distinguished by a more contracted inflorescence and the calyx shorter and 

 less attenuated below.

28. E. ramosifislma, Wall Cat, 3604; leaves lanceolate or ohlong- 

 lanceolate attenuated towards the hase acuminate subcoriaceous pellucid-punc- 

 tate, cymes axillary and terminal much branched, branches spreading, calyx-tube 

 clavate or narrowly obconical, lobes rounded nearly equal, petals densely glan-

A tree ; branchlets terete, with a pale yellow bark. Leaves 3-4 by about 1-1 J 1° 

 shining above, obscurely dotted, with a long acumen, narrowing at the base into a 

 short petiole, reticulate -nerved beneath; midrib prominent; primary nerves tew, 

 slender, uniting in a looping one within the margin. Calyx-tube •§ in., tapenng 

 gradually to the base with nearly straight sides. — This species resembles Janioosa 

 glabrata DC. but differs in the less slender and more branched peduncles ; the leaves 

 are narrower at the base and the nerves are more prominent. 



29. S. Helferi, Duthie ; upper tranches 4-gonous, leaves shortly petioled 

 lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate acuminate coriaceous peUucid-dotted, nerve 

 inconspicuous primaries numerous imiting within the margin, 5^*^^P?J^^ 

 finely reticulate, cymes terminal and from the upper axils branched shorter tnan 

 the leaves, calyx-tube clove-shaped I in., lobes 4, opposite pairs equal.
