This species manifestly belongs in the group with Eugenia 
zeylanica Wight, although radically different from that species 
in its very small leaves. From the description, I suspect that 
Eugenia pyxophylla Hance is allied to the present species; it 
differs, however, especially in its smaller flowers and turbinate 
buds, and in its calyx segments being triangular rather than 
reniform and rounded.

Java and Sumatra.

ARDISIA Swartz

Kwangtung Province, Kochow, To Kang Peng 2665, March 5, 
1919, in woods. Hainan, Ng Chi Leng, McClure 8481, December 
23, 1921, in forested ravines, altitude about 800 meters. 
The specimens were originally identified as Ardisia pusilla 
A. DC. (A. villosa Mez, non Roxb.) a species known only from 
Japan. A critical examination, however, shows both to be iden- 
tical with the Philippine Ardisia reptans Merr., which is allied 
to A. pusilla A. DC., and which was hitherto known only from 
a single collection made in Zambales Province, Luzon.
