I 



cicles in the axills, all shorter than the leaves. Berries 

 transversely oval. 



Goolum, the vernacular name in Chittagong, where it 

 is found wild, as well as cultivated for its edible fruit ; 

 the wood is also in some estimation. It blossoms in 

 March, and the fruit ripens in June and July. 



26. E. lance(Bfolia. R. 



Xeat'es short petioled, lanceolate, with the base round- 

 ed, acuminate, smooth. Panicles axillary and terminal, 

 globular, shorter than the leaves. Berries oblong, crown- 

 ed with the entire c:\Iyx. 



Poora-Jamb, the vernacular name in Silhet, where it is 

 indigenous in the forests of that district, and grows to 

 be one of the largest trees. Flowering time November, 

 and the seed ripens in February; uncommon periods for 

 an Eugenia to flower and ripen its fruit ; this I am in- 

 clined to consider one of the most elegant and most use- 

 ful species of this extensive, and truly superb genus. 



27. E. lanceolaria. R. 



Leaves short-petioled, narrow-lanceolar. Flowers ter- 

 minal, about fifteen, corymbose-fascicled. Berries irre- 

 gularly round lobate. 



Pounee-Jamb, the vernacular name in Silhet, where it 

 grows to be a small smooth tree of from ten to twelve feet 

 in height, the flowers very large, rosy, and somewhat fra- 

 grant, which with the elegant folia<ie, renders it one of 

 the prettiest of this very grand family. It flowers in 

 May, the fruit ripens in December, and, though as L.rge 

 as a small apple, is not eaten, the pulp being in small 

 quantity and tough. 



28. E. Jamhos. Willd. 2. 959. 



Trunk rarely straight and soon dividing. Leaves lan- 

 ceolate. Flowers terminal. Berries globular.
