90 Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 



ovate-oblong to broadly ovate, rarely obovate-obloug, the apex blunt 

 with a short abrupt point, or sub-acute, the base slightly cuneate, both 

 surfaces deep-olivaceous brown the upper somewhat shining, the lower 

 dull : main-nerves 10 to 12 pairs, rather straight, slightly ascending 

 and interarching with an intramarginal nerve close to the edge, not 

 conspicuous on either surface: leugth 3 to 45 in.; breadth 1*75 to 

 2*75 in. ; petiole 3 to 5 in. Panicles mostly in clusters at the apices of the 

 branches, pedunculate, or shorter than the leaves ; branchlets 4-angled, 

 spreading, few-flowered, the flowers sessile, or nearly so, clustered at 

 the apices, "25 to '3 in. in diam. Calyx clavate-rotund, about '2 in. long 

 just before expan.sion, vertically ribbed, tapering to the base; the lobes 

 4, unequal, less than '1 in. long, broad. Petals rotund, larger than the 

 calyx-lobes. Fruit globular- ovoid crowned by the cupular calyx, verti- 

 cally ribbed, '4 in, in diam. (unripe). Duthie in Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind.

 Wray 415, 3907, 3914, 3908 ; Ki7ig's Collector 10042. Distrib.— Burma. 

 A species in many respects resembling E. grandis, Wight, but with, smaller 

 less shining leaves with fewer nerves and broader in proportion to length : shorter 

 panicles, smaller flowers which moreover are mostly sessile, and smaller, ribbed 

 fruit. 



19. Eugenia garcinifolta, King n. sp. A glabrous tree, 60 to 80 

 feet high ; young branches slender, compressed, 6-ridged, brown. Leaves 

 thickly coriaceous, elliptic, or elliptic-oblong, the apex with a short 

 abrupt point, slightly narrowed to the sub-acute or rounded base, the 

 edges recurved when dry : both surfaces (when dry) shining, conspi- 

 cuously reticulate, pale-olivaceous brown, the upper rather the darker, 

 main-nerves 10 to 12 pairs, rather prominent beneath, interarching 

 irregularly '2 to '3 in. from the edge, some of the secondary nerves as 

 prominent as the main ones ; the reticulations minute but distinct ; 

 length 5 to 10 in. ; breadth 2 to 3-5 in. ; petiole '2 to '3 in. Panicles 

 terminal, spreading, 3 or 4 in. across and scarcely as much long. Flowers 

 probably on thick striate pedicles '25 in. long. Galyx narrowly campa- 

 nulate, "5 in. long, the mouth with 4 unequal, short, rounded teeth. 

 Petals orbicular. Stamens unknown. Fruit (young) globular-ovoid, 

 crowned by the 4 triangular calyx-teeth. 



Perak : King's Collector 4541, 6974. Sumatra : Scortechini 365, 

 A species allied to E. densifiora, Duthie, but with a less dense inflorescence and 

 larger flower-buds. The leaves of this moreover are larger and thicker, the reticu- 

 lations more marked and the edges recurved.
