This is another of the dwarf montane species. It resembles the Nilgiri 

 E. calophylUfolia, Wight, very closely indeed and the differences between the leaves 

 of the two can be appreciated only by comparison of actual specimens. The reticu- 

 hitions in the lower surface of this are finer and the enclosed spaces shorter. 

 E. calophylUfolia has 4-merons flowers and the flowers of this are 5-merous. Fruit 

 of this is at present unknown. From it, when found, a good character may, it is 

 hoped, be obtained. 



76. Eugenia setosa, King n. sp. A shrub or creeper: younjgj 

 branches as thick as a crow-quill, dark-brown, densely clothed on the 

 racbis and branches of the inflorescence with coarse subulate hairs 

 mixed with brown scurf. Leaves thinly coriaceous, narrowlv oblong- 

 lanceolate, shortly and abruptly acuminate, the base rounded ; upper 

 surface (wlien dry) olivaceous with minute scattered black dotf:?, the 

 lower tinged with brown, minutely pustulate : nerves very numerous 

 and close, sub-horizontal, interarching very near the slightly recurved 

 minutely undulate edge; length 1'35 to 2*75 in. ; breadth '4 to '85 in. ; 

 petiole under 'l in. Particles axillary and terminal, about as long as 

 the leaves, pedunculate, with spreading many-flowered branches. 

 Flowers crowded on the branchlets, '4 in.Jong (including the stamens), 

 clavate, the buds with globular apex abruptly contracted below, sessile 

 or on short pedicels. Calyx carapanulate above, contracted about the 

 middle into a pseudo-stalk; the mouth truncate but with 5 small 

 triangular deciduous lobes. Petals orbicular, deciduous. Fruit tur- 

 binate, crowned by the small truncate calyx-limb, minutely covered 

 with pellucid, granule-like glands ; length and breadth about '35 in.

77. Eugenia inasensis, King n. sp. A small white-flowered tree ; 

 young branches thicker than a crow-quill, terete with compressed 

 nodes ; the bark pale and rather smooth. Leaves coiiaceous, broadly 

 elliptic to elliptic-oblong, sometimes slightly obovate, much tapej-ed to 

 the base, the apex with a short, abrupt blunt point, the edges recurved ; 

 when dry, the upper surface shining, pale yellowish-brown, the midrib 

 depressed ; the lower paler and dull, the midrib bold ; main-nerves 

 inconspicuous on both ; length 2*5 to 4 in. ; breadth 1*25 to 2*25 in. ; 

 petiole '2 to "4 in. Panicles much shorter than the leaves, terminal 

 or from the upper leaf-axils, solitary or several together, pedunculate, 

 usually 3-branched, the peduncle and branches dark-coloured, com- 

 pressed. Flowers in threes, '3 to '4 in. in diam. when expanded, their
