A very handsome species somewhat resembling E. Jarribos, L. but distinguished 

 by its dense terminal panicles of flowers which are individually smaller than those 

 of that species, also by its broader leaves, and smaller fruit ; allied to E, "pendens^ 

 Duthie and E. garcinifolia, King. 



9. Eugenia plumbea, King n. sp. A glabrous tree; young 

 branches only as thick as a crow-quill, 4-angled, with dark bark. Leaves 

 thinly coriaceous, lanceolate, acuminate, somewhat narrowed at the 

 base ; both surfaces of a dull leaden colour when dry, the upper shining, 

 the lower dull ; main-nerves 10 to 12 pairs, prominent on the lower, 

 depressed on the upper surface ; length 3 to 4 in. ; breadth 1 to 1*5 in. ; 

 petiole 1 in. Floivers about '75 in. in diam., greenish- white, in terminal 

 or axillary shortly pedunculate racemes of about three. Calyx '6 in. 

 long, campanulate or widely funnel-shaped, suddenly contracted just 

 above its insertion on the short pedicel ; the mouth wide, divided into 

 four broad, rounded segments '15 in. long. Petals rotund-reniform, 

 longer than the calyx-teeth, shorter than the stamens. Fruit unknown. 



Perak : on Gunong Pateh, elevat. 3400 feet ; Wray 479. 



A species resembling this has been collected in Borneo by Mr. Ridley (Herb. 

 Ridley 9071). 



10. Eugenia Scortechinh, King n. sp. A glabrous shrub or tree : 

 young branches thicker than a crow-quill, boldly 4-angled, winged below 

 the nodes. Leaves scantily pellucid-dotted, sub-coriaceous, ovate-oblong 

 to oblong-lanceolate, acute rarely acuminate, narrowed to the rounded 

 occasionally minutely cordate base ; both surfaces brown when dry, the 

 lower paler ; main nerves 7 to 10 pairs, prominent on the lower surface, 

 curving upwards, and joining to form a bold nerve 2 in. from the 

 edge, between which and the edge is a second series of minute arches ; 

 length 4 to 6 in. ; breadth 1'35 to 235 in. ; petiole '15 in. sometimes 

 absent. Racemes terminal and in the upper leaf-axils, corymbose, 

 condensed, very much shorter than the leaves, 3- to 9-flowered. Flowers 

 pale-red, with some yellow in the centre, about '65 in. in diam., on very 

 short pedicels. Calyx shortly and widely campanulate, '4 in. long,
