Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peuinsula, 129 



Rfraight, iTicoiispicnous like the reticulations, inti-amarginal nerve very 

 near the edge; length 4'5 to 5'5 in. ; breadth 1'75 to to 2'25 in. ; petiole 

 •3 to -4 in. Panicles mostly axillaiy, soVnetimes terminal, 8 to 4 iu. 

 long, pednncnlate, pyramidal, the branches nearly horizontal, all terete. 

 Flowers mostly in thiees at the apices of the branchlets, sessile, clavate 

 in bud. Calyx nearly '15 in. long, obconic, with a sub-obtuse base ; the 

 mouth thickened, undulate, indistinctly 5-toothed. Petals calyptrate. 

 Stamens unequal, Frait unknown.

This resembles E. Bernardi, King, bat differs in having clavate, not shortly 

 obovoid, flower-bads, and in its panicles being asunlly lateral not terminal. The 

 leaves of the two are much alike. Ridley's specimens collected in the garden jungle 

 (8104< and 9845J probably belong to this but the panicle is laxer and its branches 

 thinner. 



93. Eugenia CaRTisii, King n. sp. A tree, 60 to 80 feet high ; 

 young branches thinner than a goose-quill, terete, the bark brown and 

 peeling off in flakes. Leaves coi-iaceous, oblong-lanceolate or oblong- 

 elliptic, rarely oblanceolate, the apex sliortly and bluntly acuminate, 

 the base cuneate, the edges slightly recurved when dry, both surfaces 

 when diy pale olivaceous-brown, shining, obscurely pustulate, the 

 lower less shining and darker in colour than the upper and with 

 numerous very disiinct minute conical concolorous pustules ; the midrib 

 depressed on the upper but prominent and pustulate on the lower 

 surface; main and secondarj' nerves numerous, spreading, interarching 

 less than '1 in. from the slightly recurved edge, rather distinct on the 

 lower but faint on the upper surfaces ; length 3 to 5"5 in.; breadth 1 to 

 2 in. ; petioles 15 to '2 in. Panicles terminal, from half as long as to 

 as long as the leaves, branched from the base, dense, many-flowered, 

 broader than long, the inain-branclies spreading, terete, the secondary 

 and tertiary acutely 4-angled, all stout, the bark very granular, 

 ultimately flakey. Flowers crowded at the ends of the branchlets, "2 in. 

 long (including the stamens), sub-globose in bud. OaZ?/a; campanulate, 

 narrowed to the base and produced into a short pseudo-stalk, granular, 

 shining: the mouth wide, Avith 5 small, broadly triangular teeth. 

 Petals 5, papillose outside, orbicular, ? calyptrate. Fruit unknown.

VAR. minor ; flowers smaller (rather less than 2 in. long, including 

 the stamens) : Calyx not produced into a pseudo-stalk, its mouth 

 obscurely lobt'd : leaves 2 5 to 3 in. long.
