519. Eugenia (J) purpurea (Roxb. R. W. UL Ind. 

 Bot. 2. p. 14).— Trunk straight: leaves smooth : flowers 

 in lateral sessile fascicles : berries oval. 



Differs from E. Malaccensis in the shape of the fruit 

 only. The fruit is as large as in that species, the colour 

 a very dark purple.— Roxb. Fl. Ind. II. p. 483.

550. Eugenia (J) aquea (Roxb. R. W, 111. Ind. Bot. 



2. 14. — Jambosa aquea DC.) leaves almost sessile, ob- 

 long-lanceolate, narrower and somewhat cordate at the 



base : peduncles terminal or from the upper axils, 3-7 - 

 flowered : (flowers white) ; fruit turbinate, flattened at 

 both ends.— W. and A. Prod. I. p. 332 



1 Fruit bearing branch — 2 a panicle of flowers— 3 

 cvary cut transversely — 4 fruit seen from the apex— 5

551. Eugenia (E) Moon! ana (R. W.) shrubby, gla- 

 brous, leaves pellucid dotted, short petioled, ovate, ta- 

 pering at the base, acuminated ; acumen either short 

 and blunt or prolonged and tapering to a fine point : pe- 

 duncles axillary, solitary or sometimes paired, one flow- 

 ered: flowers small, calyx tube ventrico-e, oblong, limb 

 4-cleft, segments reflexed pointed : fruit globose about 

 the size of a cherry, seed conferruminate.— R. W. 111.

552. Eugenia (S) operculata (Roxb. R. W. 111. 

 Ind. Bot. — Syz. nervosum DC.) leaves ellipticoovate, at- 

 tenuated at the base, acuminated at the apex, subcoria- 

 ceous, penninerved, the lateral nerves slightly promi- 

 nent : peduncles lateral, laxly cymosely panicled, ca- 

 lyx entire. — DC. Prod. 



Obs. I have restored Roxburgh's specific name, now 

 that I have reverted to his generic one.

553. Eugenia (S) cartophtllipolia (Lam. Itoxb.) 

 leaves elliptico-ovate, acuminated at both ends, coriace- 

 ous, feather-nerved : peduncles lateral, densely cymosely 

 panicled, calyx repand, somewhat hyaline on the mar- 

 gin.— DC. Prod. 



Obs. In our prodromus Dr. Arnott and I viewed this 

 as only a small fruited variety of Syz. Jambolanum,lo this 

 opinion I am still disposed to adhere, but having an op- 

 portunity of publishing Roxburgh's figure I think it better 

 to allow Botanists to decide for themselves.

This is the plant alluded to (111. Ind. Bot. 2. p. 17) 

 under E. rubens, I had not when that was printed seen 

 either a specimen or figure of Roxburgh's plant. A 

 comparison of my plant with his figure shows them dif- 

 ferent though nearly allied species. My plant has 8 pe- 

 tals but lam unable to say whether they all expand or 

 partially fall off as a lid. This can only be ascertained 

 by a careful examination of recent flowering specimens.

This is certainly a beautiful plant, and thoueh in 

 character noteasil^ distinguished from E. S. ptluantha ig 

 yet very distinct. The leaves want the course conspicu- 

 ous nerves, being quite even on both sides, the nervation 

 resembling that of a Calophyllum, the mid rib only 

 conspicuous. The cjmes, though as a whole small vet 

 seem to have long branches, the flowers being confined to 

 their points and capitulate. The fruit I have not seen. 

 Cymes terminal or from the axils of young shoots.
