Dense jungle in the Tahan woods, very rare. I only saw two trees of this beautiful 
Eugenia, with one cluster of flowers on each. Тһе growth of the flowers on the old wood 
is, I believe, quite peculiar.

Pulau Tiuman. І only saw one tree with very few flowers in a dense rocky jungle. 
. There are a number of other Eugenias in this region of which I have specimens, but 
owing to the difficulty of defining the species of the genus I am unable to identify them. 
BARRINGTONIA RACEMOSA, Blume. 
In tidal swamps at Ayer Hitam, near Pekan, and again in the Tahan River: 
This plant does not confine itself to sea-coasts or rather to tidal rivers, which it most 
affects, but occurs a long way up the freshwater streams, though more rarely. It is 
called “ Putat-Gajah " in Pahang—* Putat " being the generic Malay name for Barring 
tonia; “ Gajah ” signifies large (literally Elephant). 
B., sp. 
A big tree, with thin-textured petiolate leaves and erect spikes of white and pink 
flowers, occurred at Kwala Tembeling.
