COLLECTED IN DUTCH NEW GUINEA. 49 
The leaves are very stiff and shiny, and resemble somewhat those of a Calophyllum 
At the base of the umbel of cymes there is in one specimen a pair of thick oblanceolate 
sessile leaf-like bracts with a broad base and a strongly developed midrib; they are 
2 em. long and 5 mm. wide. The stamens are remarkably short and few, and the calyx 
is distinctly prolonged beyond the ovary.

Camp III, 2500 ft. 
Nearest to E. kinabaluensis, Stapf, but the leaves are more distinctly rounded, as long 
as broad, and the calyx is not cylindric.

Frutex virgatus, ramis tenuibus pustulatis brunneis. Folia: coriacea, ovata, longe 
cuspidata, 2:7 cm. longa, 6 mm. lata, cuspide obtuso 1:5 cm. longo, sicca grisea,

subtus obscura. lores parvi, axillares, 1—4 in pedicellis pustulosis 1-2 mm. longis, 
vel plures in pedunculo 1 mm. longo. Calycis tubus obtuse obconicus, basi latus, 
2 mm. longus, pustulatus, glandulosus, lobis 4 ovatis coriaceis acutis fere 
squilongis glandulosis apice pubescentibus. Petala ovata, subabrupte ungui- 
culata, 1 mm. longa. Stamina 16-20, 3 mm. longa, erecta, rubra, uniseriata, 
antheris subglobosis. Stylus validus, apice subulatus. Ovarium biloculare. Drupa 
oblonga, succulenta, rubra, 5 mm. longa. 
Camps III to VIII, also V 4, VI c, and IX to XI, 2500 to 8300 ft. 
A very singular species with the axillary inflorescence and red pulpy fruit of 
Pseudoeugenia ; but it has more than eight stamens. The leaves are red when young, 
and when adult resemble those of Æ. caudata, King, having an ovate blade with a long 
narrow blunt point suggesting the outline of a woodcock's head. The nerves are quite 
invisible, as is the midrib except on the underside at the base. The flowers are closely 
glandular. ir:
