74. Eugenia Stapfiana, King n. sp. A shrub, 2 to 6 feet high ; 

 young branches rigid, slender, 4-angled, tlie bark brown and deciduous 

 in long flakes. Leaves very coriaceous, lanceolate or broadly elliptic 

 tapering to the blunt sub-acute (occasionally rounded and retuse) apex, 

 the base slightly cuneate or rounded ; both surfaces olivaceous-brown 

 when dry, the upper with large scattered pits, the lower paler, not 

 dotted or pitted, nerves and reticulations very indistinct on both 

 surfaces, the midrib distinct on the lower: length '5 to 1 in.; breadth 

 *4 to '8 in. ; petiole under '1 in. Panicles terminal, shorter than or as long 

 as the leaves, few-flowered; the branches few, rigid, stout, square and 

 with 4 thick wings. Flowers 'S in. long, with several bracteoles at 

 their insertion on the short, stout, papillose pedicels. Galyx '15 in. 

 long, narrowly campanulate, slightly inflated below the middle, ribbed 

 and densely papillose externally, the mouth slightly expanded and with 

 4 or 5 spreading rounded teeth. Petals orbicular, free. Stamens about 

 •15 in. long. Fruit sub-globular, crowned by the calyx lobes, white.

This belongs to a group of dwarf montane species of Evgenia well-represented 

 on the mountains of Ceylon and Southern British India and of which some species 

 from the mountain of Kina Balu in Borneo have recently been described and 

 figured in the Linnaean Transactions by Dr. O. Stapf. of the Kew Herbarium. The 

 nearest ally of this is E. Tcinahaluensis, Stapf., from which this is distinguished by 

 its larger inflorescence with winged branchlets, granular calyx-tube and pedicels, and 

 less rotund leaves, entire (not retuse) at the apex. 



75. Eugenia Wrati, King n. sp. A small tree; young branches 

 obtusely 4-angled, brown (when dry) smooth, the older terete, rough, 

 the bark grey. Leaves thickly coriaceous, broadly elliptic or sub-rofcund 

 the apex obtuse or sub-obtuse entire, not narrowed at the base : upper 

 surface brown, the nerves and reticulations faint, the midrib depressed ; 

 lower surface pale sub-glaucous, the nerves and reticulations numerous 

 and distinct, the midrib broad; length '75 to 135 in. ; breadth 

 '65 to I '15 in.; petiole "l in. or less. Panicles solitary, compact, 

 terminal, in a short peduncle ; its branches short and stout, slightly 

 4-angled, not winged or papillose. Flowers greenish, '35 in. long, 

 (including the stamens) sessile in clusters of 3 or 4 at the ends of the 

 branchlets, with a single deciduous bracteole at the base of each, the buds
