 acumen above, coriaceous, transversely parallelly veined, 

 pellucid dotted : cymes lateral di-trichotomous, each 

 branch bearing 1-2 or 3 flowers : limb of the calyx much

543. Eiwi.hu (S) polyantita (R. W.) leaves pen- 



ninerved oval lanceolate, tapering at the base, bluntly 

 acuminated, coriaceous, dotted, shining above, dull 

 somewhat glaucous beneath : cymes numerous, short, 

 many-flowered, several springing together from the scars 

 of fallen leaves: calyx 4-cleft, petals 4, constantly ex- 

 panding before falling : fruit. Mergui.—li. W. 111. Tnd.

Obs The figure gives a very imperfect idea of the 

 numerous flowers of this species, which in some speci- 

 mens, are so dense as Dearly to conceal the branch which 

 bears them. It seems very nearly allied to E. S. baU 

 somea from which I fear on further acquaintance it will 

 be found scarcely distinct. 



544. Eugenia (S) cordifolia (R. W. Calyptranthis 

 cordifolia, Moon) leaves coriaceous penninerved, ovate, 

 acuminate, sessile, cordate, stem clasping, at the base : 

 cymes corymbose, longish peduncled, axillary, shorter 

 than the leaves: calyx limb very slightly 4-toothed, pe- 

 tals calyptriform.-.R. W. ill. Ind. Bot. 2. p. 16. 



Ceylon. Moon and Colonel Walker.— This is a large 

 handsome species. The leaves are upwards of 6 inches 

 long and nearly 3 broad, very coriaceous, revolute on the 

 margin ; flowers pretty large ; the fruit I have not seen.

 lanica Willd.) leaves shortly petioled, oblong, narrowed 

 at the base, acuminated with the point blunt, coriaceous, 

 shining, veined, not dotted : peduncles filiform, 1 -flow- 

 ered, solitary or in pairs, axillary or on the leafless 

 branchlets, with two short subulate bracteoles under the 

 calyx.— W. and A. Prod. I. p. 331.

546. Eugenia (J) Munronii (R. W.— J. aquea, 

 Munro's MSS.) racemes cymose terminal, tube of the 

 calyx much attenuated at the base, lobes of the 

 limb somewhat membranous, obtuse : leaves subsessile, 

 slightly cordate at the base, lanceolate upwards, ending 

 iu a short blunt acumen, penninerved; veins meeting 

 and forming a thick coarse nerve within the margin; 

 pellucid dotted. — A slender tree from 12 to 20 feet high, 

 flowers large and conspicuous, apparently from the dried 

 specimen, reddish. Fruit eatable.— R. W. 111. Ind. Bot. 

 2. p. 14.

547. Barringtonia speciosa (Linn.) leaves shining, 

 cuneate, oblong, obtuse,quite entire: flowers (large) form- 

 ing a lax simple raceme or thyrsus: pedicels elongated, 

 several times longer than the flower, 1-bracteated at the 

 base: calyx 2- 3 -cleft : ovary 4-celled, two of the dis- 

 sepiments being often imperfect in the middle : ovules 

 attached to the inner angle of the cell, near its apex: 

 fruit acutely 4- angled, pyramidal; endocarp fibrous, re- 

 sembling a putamen, separating from the epicarp. — W. 

 and A. Prod I p. 333.
