Myrtics Beckleri F. v. M. Frag. II., 85. 

 Tallebudgera Creek. 



Eugenia humilamjwa. F. v. M. IX., 145. 

 In the jungle along Nerang Creek, close by the sea. A large 

 tree once doubtfully admitted by Baron von Mueller, in Frag. IX., 

 as a new species, and which has now received its full specific 

 rank in his Systematic Census of Australian plants. It could 

 scarcely be confused with E. Smithii Poia., its nearest ally. 

 Eugenia Moorei. F. v. M. Frag. V '., 33. 

 Abundant in the littoral forests towards the boundary lines of 

 the colony. A handsome tree, compact, and of beautiful foliage ; 

 it would well answer for shade planting. The fruit is large, round, 

 somewhat flattened, white and not unpalatable. This plant has 

 been considered by JBentham Fl. Austr. III., 285. as identical 

 with E. Jambolana Lann. but the much divaricate trichotomous 

 panicles, which arise from the older branches, and as I would 

 observe from the trunk of the tree, the red filaments longer than 

 in E. Jambolana, and other characters have induced Baron von 

 Mueller to separate it from the true E. Jambolana, and distinguish 

 it with a name commemorative of the services to botanic researches 

 of Mr. C. Moore of the Sydney Botanical Gardens. 



Eugenia corynantha. F. v. M. Frag. IX., 144. 

 A tree of lesser dimensions than the preceding one, with which 

 it may be well associated for the purpose of shade and beauty. It 

 grows in abundance about Tallebudgera. Flowers are not very 

 conspicuous. 



Eugenia Hoclgkinsonice. F. v. M. IX., 145. 

 In general aspect of foliage and stature similar to E. corynantha^ 

 F. v. M., and like it a desirable addition to shrubberies. It excels 

 all the others. The copiousness of large flowers in terminal 

 panicles, which emit a sweet perfume even long after they have 

 been plucked renders it superior in a garden to any other rose 

 apple. It is frequently met with in the Tallebudgera jungles, and 

 at the time of flowering the sweetness of its scent spreading for a 

 long distance through the thickness of that rich vegetation makes 

 its presence felt.
