Ridley 7333. Singapore : Ridley 256, 4975. Malacca : Ridley. Distrib. 

 — Sumatra. 



The rotate 4-lobed calyx distinguishea this species. 



41. Eugenia glauca, King n. sp. A tree, 40 to 50 feet high ; 

 young branches somewhat thicker than a crow-quill, terete ; the bark 

 pale-brown and flaky. Leaves coriaceous, oblong- or ovate-lanceolate, 

 often obovate-lanceolate, sub-acute or blunt and with a short blunt point ; 

 upper surface (when dry) olivaceous-brown and shining, the lower 

 glaucous (not glaucous in var.) ; the numerous nerves and reticulations 

 very distinct on both surfaces, edge slightly recurved, (not recurved in 

 var.) the intramarginal nerve very close to it; length 225 to 4 in.; 

 breadth 1 to 2 in. ; petiole 25 to '3 in. Flowers few, sessile, '3 in. long 

 (including the stamens) and as much wide, in racemes or small, few- 

 branched, axillary or terminal panicles 3 or 4 inches long (often several 

 together), with compressed, 4-angled rachises. Calyx-Umhj a wide 

 shallow cup with 4 broad, shallow, deciduous lobes, afterwards truncate- 

 erose, below narrowed into a thin pseudo-stalk. Petals 4, orbicular, 

 clawed, free, reflexed. Fruit unknown. 



Penang: Curtis 1152, 2228. Perak : Ridley 3086. Malacca: 

 Derry 1184. 



Distinguished by its much reticulate leaves glaucous beneath and its few- 

 flowered inflorescence. 



VAR. pseudo- glauca, King ; like the type but with thinner narrower 

 and more acute leaves with no tendency- to be obovate, not glaucous 

 beneath and the edges not recurved. 



Perak : Ridley 3108, 8386. The Bindings ; Curtis 3440. 



42. Eugenia subrufa, King n. sp. A tree, 20 to 30 feet high : 

 young branches half as thick as a goose-quill, terete, grey or pale- brown 

 after the defoliation of the thin, flaky, brown bark. Leaves thickly 

 coriaceous, narrowly elliptic or elliptic-ovate, shortly acuminate, the 

 base cuneate ; upper surface (when dry) pale olivaceous-brown slightly 

 shining, the midrib, nerves and reticulations depressed ; lower reddish, 

 dull, the midrib and nerves prominent : main-nerves about 8 pairs, 

 curving upwards, interarching at less than '1 in. from the edge to form 

 a somewhat faint intramarginal line, the edges recurved ; length 

 3-6 to 5 in. ; breadth 1*5 to 2 in. ; petiole 3 to '4 in. Panicles terminal 

 and axillary, pedunculate, the few branches very short and crowded at 

 the apex of the peduncle; both peduncle and branches 4-angled. 

 Flowers '5 in. long (including the stamens), sessile, in threes at the 

 apices of the very short (-1 in. long) branches, clavate-obovoid in bud. 

 Calyx campanulate, funnel-shaped, reduced for a third of its length to a
