20. Eugenia crenulata, Duthie in Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. II, 490. 

 A glabrous tree : young branches as thick as a goose-quill, terete, brown. 

 Leaves thickly coriaceous, elliptic or elliptic-rotund, the apex rounded 

 but with an abrupt short apiculus, the base cuneate ; both surfaces 

 (when dry), shining, the numerous reticulations and nerves distinct, 

 the intramarginal nerve very close to the thickened and slightly crenate 

 edge ; under surface rather remotely black-pustulate ; length 4 to 5 in. ; 

 breadth 2'5 to 4 in. ; petiole '3 to '6 in. Panicles terminal, nearly as 

 long as the leaves when in bud, (sometimes longer), corymbosely tricho- 

 tomus, many-flowered ; the peduncle and branches 4-angled, compressed, 

 the nodes and the insertions of the flowers with minute bracteoles. 

 Flowers (including the stamens) '4 in. long, sessile. Petals 4, calyptrate. 

 Calyx 2 in. long, campanulate with a truncate mouth, contracted for 

 half its length into a pseudo-stalk. Fruit unknown. 



Malacca: Maingay (K.D.) 739. Singapore: Ridley 6232. ' 

 Eecognisable at once by its crenate leaves ; only twice collected and evidently 

 rare. The Singapore specimen has thinner leaves and more slender longer panicles 

 but, in other respects, it agrees with the Malacca one. 



21. EoGENiA GRANDis, Wight 111. II, 17: Ic. t. 535. A glabrous 

 tree, 30 or 40 feet high: young branches terete, dark-brown. Leaves 

 thickly coriaceous, ovate-rotund to ovate-elliptic or elliptic-oblong, the 

 apex rounded with or without an abrupt short blunt point, or sub- 

 acute or acute, the base always narrowed to the petiole : both surfaces 

 shining ; and the upper olivaceous, the lower brown when dry : main- 

 nerves 12 to 14 pairs, curving upwards very slightly and interarching, with 

 an intermarginal nerve "l" to '2 in. from the edge: the secondary nerves 

 and lax reticulations slender but distinct like the main ones on both 

 surfaces, length 3'5 to 7 in. ; breadth 1*75 to 4 in. ; petiole '4 to -65 in. 

 Panicles mostly clustered at the apices of the branches, more than 

 half as long as the leaves, on peduncles '6 to 1*25 in. long; the brandies 

 spreading, an inch or more long. Floivers sessile at the ends of the 

 branches, 35 to 45 in. in diam. when expanded ; the buds just before 

 expansion clavate-rotund, "5 in. long. Calyx clavate, tapered to the 

 short pedicel, '35 to "5 in. long, smooth, the 4 lobes concave, orbicular, 

 about 2 in. long, two much larger than the otliers. Petals of the same 

 size and shape as the calyx-lobes. Filaments "35 in. long, Bipe fruit 

 oblong-ovoid, lb in. long, crowned by the cup-shaped calyx-limb, 

 1-seeded. Duthie in Hook. fil. Fl. Br. India I, 475 ; Kurz in Journ. As.
