xi, c, 6 Merrill: Reliquiae Robinsonianae 297 



nervis utrinque circiter 10, tenuis, distinctis, anastomosan- 

 tibus ; inflorescentiis lateralibus terminalibusque, tenuis, 3-floris, 

 circiter 6 cm longis, floribus longissime pedicellatis, calycis cir- 

 citer 7 mm diametro, basi longe angustatis; petalis glanduloso- 

 punctatis, subreniformibus, circiter 6 mm diametro. 



An erect entirely glabrous shrub about 3 m high, the branches 

 and branchlets slender, terete, reddish-brown, smooth, the bark 

 on the older branches somewhat flaky. Leaves chartaceous, sub- 

 elliptic, 7 to 10 cm long, 3 to 6 cm wide, subequally narrowed to 

 the acute base and to the short and obtusely acuminate apex, 

 brownish-olivaceous when dry, somewhat shining, the lower sur- 

 face minutely and rather densely pustulate or pustulate-punc- 

 ticulate; lateral nerves about 10 on each side of the midrib, 

 slender, distinct, irregular, nearly straight, anastomosing into a 

 somewhat arcuate marginal nerve about 5 mm from the edge of 

 the leaf, this nerve as prominent as the lateral ones, a secondary, 

 much fainter intramarginal nerve usually present, the reticula- 

 tions faint ; petioles about 1 mm long. Inflorescences 3-flowered, 

 terminating the branchlets and springing from the old branches 

 or trunk, about 6 cm long, the peduncles slender, about 3 cm long, 

 the pedicels and flowers about as long as the peduncles. Flowers 

 white, the calyx about 1.5 cm long, 7 mm in diameter at the 

 throat, narrowly funnel-shaped, narrowed below into a long 

 slender pseudostalk, the lobes 4, reniform, rounded, glandular- 

 punctate, 3 mm long, 6 mm wide, persistent. Petals free, sub- 

 renif orm, glandular-punctate, about 6 mm in diameter. Stamens 

 about 10 mm long. 



Amboina, Liang, Rel. Robins. 1872, November 29, 1913, in thickets at 

 an altitude of about 8 meters, locally known as jambu karang. 



A species well characterized by its lateral and terminal, slender, 3- 

 flowered inflorescences, its long pedicels, and long, narrowed calyx-tube, 

 which, with the sepals and petals is glandular-punctate. The species is 

 dedicated to the late Doctor J. G. Boerlage who contracted a fever while 

 carrying on a botanical exploration of Amboina in the year 1900, which 

 resulted in his untimely death. 

 EUGENIA sp. § Jambosa. 



Amboina, Wae, Rel. Robins. 1871, November 29, 1913, in light forests, 

 altitude about 20 meters, locally known as kayu mera karang. 



The specimen presents only very young flowers and is scarcely in con- 

 dition for further identification except by comparison with authentically 

 named specimens.

Amboina, Way tommo, Rel. Robins. 1873, along river banks, altitude 

 about 50 meters, the specimen with detached fruits. Not in condition for
