FLORA OF DALMATIA. 67 
the stamens: stigma simple. Pericarp a deep orange-coloured 
berry, about the size of a small cherry, one-celled, one-seeded. 
Seed globular, not divisible into distinct cotyledons, but, when 
cut transversely, showing a line of separation, extending 
nearly half across its disk. 
A native of the sea coast, growing in salt sandy soil. The 
Specimen figured was gathered at Point Calemere, where it is 
very abundant and luxuriant, attaining to the height of four or 
five feet. It is in finest flower about the beginning of April, 
and was nearly past in May, when this description and draw- 
Ing were taken. 
The Myrtus bracteata of Willd. (Eugenia bracteata, DC.) 
does not appear to be different from the present, as far as can 
be inferred from the description. 
Tag. CXXIV. Eugenia Roxburghii. Fig. l, Section of
