98 BOTANY OF THE VOYAGE OF THE SULPHUR. 
majoribus (4-5 poll. longis 2-23 poll. latis) crassioribus, venis multo obscurioribus fere obsoletis. Flores non 
suppetunt. Bacca magna, depresso-globosa, abortu 1-4-locularis vel rarius 5-locularis, siccitate dura, inter 
loculos sulcis profundis extus notata et partibilis, coronata calycis limbo persistente breviter et obtuse 5-lobo. 
Semina in loculis solitaria, placentee centrali mediante hilo lato circulariter affixa, magna, ovoidea (axi 5-6 lin, 
longo) ; testa dura cornea vel sublignosa ; cotyledones crassi, fere recti, subhemispheerici, carnosi, sese arcte 
appressi at non conferruminati; radicula basilaris brevissima ; plumula parva sed conspicua. 
The above description of the seed is very different from that which is usually, 
after Lindley (Collect. Bot. sub n. 16.), given to Campomanesia, and is much 
nearer to that of Eugenia, yet it is probable that this plant is a congener to the 
C. cornifolia, Humb. et Kunth, C. glabra, Benth., and to the C. hirsuta and lauri- 
folia, Gardn. Whether, however, they are or are not referable to the true Cam- 
pomanesia of Ruiz and Pavon must remain doubtful; for Ruiz and Pavon’s 
description, and Lindley’s, are so totally at variance with each other, both as to 
the leaf and the fruit, that they must have been taken from different plants, and 
it is well known that Pavon’s labels, in the different collections he disposed of, 
were in several instances misplaced.
