1. E. JAMBOLANA Lam. Duhat, Lumboy (Tag.). 
A tree 4 to 15 m high, quite glabrous. Leaves shining, leathery, oval 
to elliptic or obovate-elliptic, shortly and broadly acuminate, 6 to 12 cm 
long, the nerves numerous, slender. Panicles mostly from the branchlets 
below the leaves, some often axillary or terminal, 4 to 6 cm long. Flowers 
numerous, pink or nearly white, sessile in crowded fascicles on the ends 
of the branchlets. Calyx funnel-shaped, about 4 mm long, 4-toothed. 
Petals cohering and falling as a small disk. Stamens about as long as 
the calyx. Fruit oval to elliptic, dark-purple, or nearly black, fleshy, 
edible, 1.5 to 2 cm long containing a single large seed. (FI. Filip. pl. 174, 
Syzygium jambolanum.) . 
Common, fi. Feb.—March; throughout the Philippines cultivated and wild, 
but certainly introduced. India, through Malaya, to Australia, often, per- 
haps, only cultivated. 
* 2. E. MALACCENSIS L. Macopa, Macopa-calabao (Tag.). 
A tree reaching a height of about 10 m. Leaves elliptic-oblong to 
broadly oblong-lanceolate, 10 to 25 em long, narrowed at both ends, apex 
acuminate, base acute. Racemes short, few-flowered, from the branches 
below the leaves, 6 cm long or less. Flowers large, showy, deep red- 
purple, 5 to 6 cm in diameter, the calyx-tube 2 cm long, green, the lobes 
1 cm wide. Petals obovoid, nearly 1.5 em long. Fruit subglobose or 
depressed-turbinate, crowned by the incurved calyx-lobes. (FI. Filip. pl. 
170.) 
One tree known to me in our area, opposite San Pedro Macati, fl. 
April-May; widely distributed in the Philippines in cultivation and cer- 
tainly introduced. India to Malaya, frequently only planted, and now in- 
troduced in many other tropical countries. 
*3. E. gAMBOS L. Tampoi (Tag.). 
A tree reaching a height of about 10 m. Leaves lanceolate, 10 to 20 
em long, acuminate, base acute, short-petioled. Racemes terminal, few- 
flowered, 4 to 6 em long. Flowers white, pink, or red, 4 to 5 cm in diameter. 
Calyx obconic, the lobes 4. Fruit ovoid or globbose, fleshy, pink or red, 
2.5 to 4 em in diameter, crowned by the calyx-lobes. 
Occasionally cultivated, fl. Jan—April; widely distributed in the Philip- 
pines, but undoubtedly introduced. India to southern China, Malaya, and 
Australia, often, perhaps, only planted. ‘
