96 Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 



Andaman Islands, at Hobdaypore; King's Collector. 

 This differs from typical E. Kurzii in having narrower more acuminate leaves 

 and longer stamens. The yonng branches moreover have paler bark. Frnit is as 

 yet unknown, bnt when found it may afford characters to warrant specific rank for this. 



30. Eugenia anisosepala, Duthie in Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. II, 481. 

 A large tree: young branches terete, thinner than a goose-qnill, brown, 

 smooth. Leaves coriaceous, ovate to ovate- lanceolate, shortly acuminate, 

 the base cuneate, both surfaces (when dry) dark-brown, the upper 

 shining and with the nerves rather faint ; the lower paler brown, the 

 12 to 14 pairs of curved main-nerves rather distinct, interarching *! in. 

 from the edge, the secondary nerves somewhat distinct; length 

 25 to 3'5 in.; breadth 1 to 1-75 in.; petiole '2 to •25 in. Panicles 

 terminal, corymbose, usually shorter than the leaves, the branches 

 numerous, spreading, rather crowded, 4-angled, the peduncle compressed. 

 FZo'M;er5 '5 in. long (including the stamens), sessile, clavate in bud, in 

 threes at the apices of the branchlets. Calyx 'S in. long, campanulate- 

 infundibuliform, its lower half contracted into a pseudo-stalk ; the limb 

 with 4 unequal, broad, rounded lobes (two being larger and sub-petaloid). 

 Petals 4; not calyptrate. Fruit unknown. E. anisosepala^ Unthie in 

 Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. II, 481 in part.

Mr. Duthie remarks that the GriflBthian specimens above quoted differ some- 

 what from those of Maingay inasmuch as they have smaller flowers. With these 

 Mr. Derry's single specimen agrees. Maingay's "Specimens have a much larger more 

 spreading panicle, with smaller flowers. The material is very poor and 1 think it is 

 likely that, when more is forthcoming, it will be found that two species are mixed 

 under the name E. anisosepala, Duthie. 



31. Eugenia Gageana, King n. sp. A tree, 40 to 50 feet high : 

 young branches thinner than a goose-qnill, terete, compressed at the 

 nodes, brown (when dry). Leaves thickly coriaceous, oblong-lanceolate, 

 bluntly acuminate, the base cuneate ; upper surface dull-brown, the 

 midrib thin and depressed, the main-nerves faint : lower surface paler 

 brown, the midrib thick and the reticulations and secondary nerves 

 numerous and distinct ; the main-nerves 12 to 18 pairs, curving up- 

 wards and interarching '1 in. from the edge : length 5 or 6 in. ; breadth 

 15 to 2'25 in. ; petiole "2b to "3 in. Panicles terminal, about half as 

 long as the leaves, sessile, corymbose, many-fiowered, bj'anching from 

 the base ; branches stout, spreading, obtusely 4-angled. Floiuers sessile, 

 in threes at the apices of the branchlets, globose-clavate in bud. Calyx 

 narrowly campanulate, rather abruptly narrowed into a pseudo-stalk 

 about -05 in. in length. Fruit unknown.
