(1.) T. loranthoides, (Hook. et Arn.)—Santa Cruz in 
the Missions of Brazil, Baird.—This genus, on account 
of the length of the germen, and its being 2-celled, is 
most allied to Caryophyllus ; but it differs from that 
and all other Myrtacee hitherto described, by the 
stamens being equal in number to the petals. The 
rigid straight long stamens seem to ally it slightly to 
Beaufortia and some others of the Leptospermee, with 
which, however, it appears to have nothing else in com- 
mon.

Some of the leaves are almost round, others broadly obo- 
vate and shortly acuminate; but these deviations from the 
ovate figure appear to be caused by extraneous circum- 
stances. This species is only distinguishable by the 
presence of bracteole from a plant we possess from St. 
Vincents, and which appears to be E. cerasina, Vahl., 
referred by De Candolle to E. ligustrina, Willd. This 
and all the species we here place in Eugenia, have the 
flowers quadrifid, and the leaves shortly petiolate.
