 identical with the species as here interpreted. 



RHIZOPHORACEAE 



CARALLIA Roxburgh 



CARALLIA BRACHIATA (Lour.) comb. nov. 



Diatoma brachiata Lour. Fl. Cochinch. (1790) 296. 



Carallia lucida Roxb. Hort. Beng. (1814) 92, nomen nudum, PI. Coro- 



mandel 3 (1819) 8, t. 211. 

 Carallia integerrima DC. Prodr. 3 (1828) 33. 

 Petalotoma brachiata DC. op. cit. 295. 



Kwangtung Province, White Cloud Mountain, near Canton, 

 Levine 3386, local name nik nga tsai; Poon Yue District, Levine 

 3138; Kochow region, To Rang P'eng 2676, 2751, with the local 

 name ngo sken muk. 



Loureiro's generic name has priority over Carallia, but the 

 latter is retained in the list of nomina conservanda adopted by 

 the Vienna Botanical Congress. Petalotoma DC. is merely a 

 new generic name for Diatoma. I believe Loureiro's description 

 applies to the common and widely distributed Indo-Malayan 

 species commonly known as Carallia lucida Roxb. and as C. in- 

 tegerrima DC, the last two certainly being conspecific. 



MYRTACEAE 



EUGENIA Linnaeus 

 EUGENIA BULLOCKII Hance in Journ. Bot. 16 (1878) 227. 



Kwangtung Province, Kochow region, Shek Tan Kong, To 

 Rang P'eng 2995, March, 1919. 



This specimen, although in fruit, agrees closely with the orig- 

 inal description and with Hainan material collected by Miss 

 Moninger, which I have identified with Hance's species. It was 

 previously known only from Hainan.
