Calyx much elongate. Berries ovoid. 



E. CLAvrPLOEA, Eosb. F.T. Tropical forests of Tenasserim, the Andamans, 



Tha-bye ffeneric). Kamorta, and Great Nicobar. 



Calyx tubular-narrowed, 5-I inch long, the lobes broad and rounded. Berries 

 about an inch long, ovoid-oblong, crowned by the calyx-lobes. 



E. LEPTAXTHA, "Wight. F.T. Tropical forests of the Pegu Piange, Tenasserim, 



and the Andamans. 



Calyx club-shaped, -J— } inch long, the limb truncate. Beny clavate-oblong, 

 only l-\ inch long, crowned by the cup-shaped truncate calyx-limb. 



X X Floioers in more or less corymb-like axillary and terminal panicles. Calyx

 black. 



E. Zetlaxica, "Wight non Eoxb. F.T. Tropical forests of Tenasserim and

 E. coNTEACiA, Wall. F.S. Tropical forests of Tenasserim. 



Leaves more or less linear, net-veinod between the remote indistinct irregular 

 lateral nerves. 



The Martaban specimens dry blackish and have the net-venation less prominent. 

 They may possibly form a large and long-leaved variety of F. cuneata, Wall. 



Another species from Tenasserim, nearly allied to the above, has larger leaves of a 

 thinner texture and very lax net-venation. It is no doubt new, but the inflorescences 

 are too young for description. It has white, while the above has red-brown 

 bark (Kurz).
