Eugenia minutuliflora. 



Glabrous ; branchlets almost cj'lindrie; leaves rather light green, 

 obovate or elliptic-cuneate, gradually narrowed into a short petiole, 

 without lustre on either page, slightly paler beneath, their venulation 

 pinnular, subtle, immersed, their punetatiou seldom auywbere transparent ; 

 panicles rather small, but trichotomously brachiate ; flowers extremely 

 small : calyces attenuated into very short, often ternate pedicels, smooth, 

 the lobes of each minute; petals about half exserted, long contiuuing 

 connivent or calyptrate ; stamens extremely short, never very numerous, 

 their anthers ovate-roundish, opening by longitudinal slits ; style hardly 

 emerging; fruit rather large, depressed-globular, its pericarp somewhat 

 sueculent, whitish outside. 



Near Port Darwin ; M. H o 1 1 z e. 



This species Stands systematically very near E. Smitltli in floral and 

 carpic characteristics, but the leaves are of quite different shape and not 

 shining nor dark-green above, while uoiie of the anthers are biglobular, 

 and all open with lateral dehiscence. E. Armstrongi, of which I have 

 seeu no authentic speeimen, and of which the fruits remain unknown, 

 cannot be our present plant, as Bentham kept it out of the section 

 •Syzygium, and indicates the petals and stamens as of greater length. 

 Eugenia Holtuei, from material recently reeeived, shows the following 

 prineipal carpic qualities: — Kipe fruit urceolate-globular, 1 /4-inch 

 to ^s-inch long, dark purplish outside, truncate at the summit, one- 

 seeded. 



Eugenia apodophylla . 



Glabrous ; branchlets prominently quadrangular ; leaves rather small, 

 firmly chartaeeous, long-acuminate, with rounded base sessile, pinnately 

 thin-venulated, their punetation much concealed; flowers small, from two 

 to four together between terminal leaves; peduncles none; calyx passing 

 gradually into the twice longer pedicel, almost truncate, punetular-scabrous ; 

 petals at rirst coalescent into an hemispheric lid, but some finally 

 expanding ; stamens much longer thau the petals ; anthers roundish when 

 open; style elongated; ovu'ary sunk deeply ; fruit reddish. 



On high summits of the Bellenden-Ker's Ranges; W. Sayer.
