DR. O. STAPF ON THE FLORA OF MOUNT KINABALU. 153 
EUGENIA AMPULLARIA, Stapf, n. sp. ($ Syzygium). (Pl. XI. c. fig.13.) Frutex. Ramuli 
subteretes, brunnei, rami crassi, albescentes. Folia valde approximata, petiolo eras- 
siusculo nigrescente 1 lin. longo suffulta, rotundato-ovata, ad 1-13 poll. longa, 10-14 
lin. lata, basi late rotundata, apice subacuta vel obtusa, in margine paulo recurva, 
coriacea, supra lucida nigrescentia, subtus opaca pallide olivacea, glaberrima, costá 
supra impressá, nervis lateralibus utrinque 15-20, angulo fere recto ortis, rectis, 
utrinque prominulis, imprimis subtus conspicuis, nervo marginali sub ipso margine 
ad apicem ducto, venulis plus minusve conspicuis, laxe anastomosantibus. Cyme 
terminales, pauciflore, brevissimæ, vix e foliis exserte, robuste. Fructus globosus, 
5-6 lin. dimetiens, calycis tubo persistente 3 lin. longo basi constricto coronatus. 
Semen solitarium, globosum, 3 lin. dimetiens ; cotyledones crassissimi, hemispherici, 
subinsequales. 
At 11,500 feet (Haviland, 1096). 
E. ampullaria is closely allied to a species collected by Thwaites on Adam's Peak and 
erroneously referred by him and Duthie to E. calophyllifolia, Wight, a plant represented 
in the Kew Herbarium from the Western Peninsula only. This is distinguished chiefly by 
the larger fruits, which are (immature) 5-6 lin. long and bottle-shaped, with but a slight 
constriction at the neck. The part below the constriction is obovoid, tapering into the 
base, that above cylindric and suddenly widened into the margin, which is minutely 
toothed or almost entire. All the fruits of the Ceylonese specimen are immature, but in one 
or two which are more advanced the lower part is almost globose, thus approaching the 
shape of the fruit of E. ampullaria. The inflorescence is also of the same character as in 
the Ceylonese plant mentioned, which is now E. Fergusoni, Trim., but, like all other parts, 
much stouter. The leaves of E. Ferguson? are also very similar, but smaller and not 
glossy, and their veins are not prominent above. 
EUGENIA MYRTILLUS, Stapf, n. sp. ($ Syzygium). Frutex. Ramuli quadranguli, rami 
cinerei, graciles, plus minusve teretes. Folia approximata, petiolo 2-2} lin. longo 
suffulta, oblongo-lanceolata, 3-14 poll. longa, 4-6 lin. lata, cuneatim in petiolum 
attenuata, obtuse acuminata vel obtusa, margine tenuiter recurvo, glaberrima, coriacea, 
utrinque opaca, subtus pallidiora, nervis lateralibus primariis utrinque 10-12, 1-3 
tenuioribus ante nervum marginalem evanidis interjectis, omnibus plus minusve 
parallelis, utrinque prominulis, subtus magis distinctis. Cymæ terminales, breves, 
graciles, 10—20-florze, pedunculo 3-5 lin. longo suffulte, minute bracteate. Calyx 
(juvenilis) odconicus, subangustus, 15-2 lin. longus, lobis 4 brevibus, ovatis. 
At 8800 feet (Haviland, 1109). 
Nearest allied to E. cuneata, Wall, and E. rubicunda, Wight. The leaves come 
pretty near to those of E. rubicunda in venation and form, but they are smaller and 
comparatively broader. The inflorescence and the young flowers, on the other hand, 
agree rather with those of E. cuneata, Wall. 
MELASTOMACEA. 
MELASTOMA DECEMFIDUM, Roxb., Cat. Hort. Beng. 90. 
Maripari Spur, from 5000 to 5500 feet (Haviland, 1267).
