 Ind.2. p. 492. 



Obs. The leaves of the specimen figured, seem to 



have been pointed those of the specimens I examined 



were broadly oval with an abrupt obtuse acumination not 



at all like those of the figure but which in other respects 



the figure agrees so well with the specimens that I am 



disposed to view that discrepancy as an accidental varia- 

 tion.

The timber is used for various purposes in Chittagong 

 where it is a native, and the fruit are very generally 

 eaten. This species, which much resembles some forms 

 of E. Jambolana is readily distinguished by its free ex- 

 panding petals, a character not noticed by Roxburgh. 



616. Eugenia (S) paniala (Roxb.) leaves broad 



lanceolar, acuminate, coarsely veined : panicles lateral 

 brachiate: flowers in little heads: berries oval.— Roxb*

 Roxb. Fl. Ind. 



A native of Sumatra. — The specimen figured differs 

 somewhat from that sent to me by Dr. Wallich, which 

 induced me to refer this species to the section with ter- 

 minal flowers, though it seems preferably to belong to 

 that with axillarv ones. 



619. Eugenia (S) procox (Roxb.) leaves opposite 

 petioled, lanceolar, rather obtuse, coarsely veined : pani- 

 cles lateral and axillary, brachiate half the length of the 

 leaves.— Roxb. Fl. Ind. 2. p. 488.

Native of the Molluccas. 



Roxburgh remarks that this only differs from E. Jam- 

 bolana in the leaves being obtuse and frequently emar- 

 ginate, which he has illustrated by the introduction into 

 his drawing of figures of two forms of leaves of the true 

 E. Jambolana. In all other respects they are the same 

 and I should therefore suggest the propriety of reducing 

 this as an obtuse leaved variety of that species.

From Tippara. An elegant tree, flowers like those of 

 the common myrtle and about the same size, calyx 4 

 toothed. Corolla of 4 short clawed, orbicular, concave,

 be Eugenia cymosa of Lamarck, an opinion which more 

 attentive examination does not tend to confirm.
