Eugenia. icosandria monogynia. 493 



duncles terminal, and from three to five or seven large, 

 white flowers, on pedicels of various length. Calyx the 

 four segments of the border subreniform. Petals sabro- 

 tund, rather larger than the divisions of the calyx. Fila- 

 ments numerous, twice the length of the petals. Anthers 

 small, oblong. Germ broad-turbinate, two-celled, with 

 the rudiments of many seeds in each. Style longer than 

 the stamina. Stigma acute. Fruit about the size of a 

 large Medlar, somewhat turbinate, with both ends much 

 flattened ; surface smooth and polished, but uneven, 

 and in the first noticed variety of a most beautiful lively 

 pale rose colour, and aromatic taste, containing from one

 many. The other variety, Jambo ayer, has the fruit per-

 branches of the full grown, brilliant coloured fruit, ap-
