Enc/enia Michelii, Lamk. Encyc. Method, v. 3 (1789) p. 2U3, a nati\e 

 of S. America (although a very ancient introduction into India), is occa- 

 sionally met with in gardens, where it is known as the " Brazil Chemi" 

 It possesses considerable interest as being the plant from which, under 

 the name Eiirjenia indica, the genus Eugenia was originally established 

 by P. Antonio Micheli in 1729 (Nov. PI. Gen. p. 226, t. 108) in honor 

 of Prince Eugene of Savoy. Ti-imen (Journ. Linn. Soc. v. 24 [1888J 

 p. 142) has shewn that the name E. unijlora subsequently given to the 

 plant by Linnicus, which included both this and a form of E. inalac^ensvi, 

 must be abandoned in favor of E. MicheUi, Lamk. Euqenia unijlora,
