Materials for a Flora of the Malayan "Peninsula. 131 



botli surfaces (when dry) olivaceous-brown, the upper shining, with 

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

 maiii-nerves 5 to 8 pairs, faint on both surfaces ; reticulations few, 

 faintly visible on the lower invisible on the upper surface ; length of 

 the lanceolate form 2-5 to 3 in., of the elliptic form 3 to 4*5 in. ; 

 breadth respectively 1 to 1*5 in. and 1*5 to 2'5 in. 5 petiole '6 to "8 in. 

 Panicles numerous, crowded on the branches below the leaves, trichoto' 

 mous, 1 to 2 in. long, with a few divaricating, few-flowered branches. 

 Flowers in threes at the ends of the branchlets, '25 in. long (including 

 the stamens), sessile or on short, stout 4-angled pedicels, obovoid in 

 bud. Calyx *1 in. long, lengthening to '2 in. after fertilization, cara- 

 panulate with a 4 in. wide, truncate, irregularly toothed thickened mouth, 

 much narrowed to the base but not constricted into a pseudo-stalk. 

 Petals 4i orbicular, calyptrate. Fruit unknown. E. occlusa, Kurz in 

 Hook. fil. Fl. Br. Ind. II, 498 (not of Miquel). 

 KicoBAR Islands : Kurz. 



This has been collected only in the Nicobar islands and there only by Kurz 

 who referred it to Syzygium occlusum^ Miq. But it differs so much from an 

 authentic specimen of that species in the Horsfield collection and from Miquel's own 

 description, that I have given it a new name. 



96. EuoENiA Jambolana, Lamk. Diet. Ill, 198. A small tree, 

 young branches thinner than a goose-quill, terete, very pale when dry. 

 Leaves coriaceous, rather variable, rotund-ovate to oblong-ovate, bluntly 

 and shortly acuminate, sub-acute or obtuse, slightly narrowed at the 

 base; both surfaces brown when dry, the under paler; nerves and 

 their connecting reticulations numerous, distinct when dry on both 

 surfaces but especially on the lower, intra-marginal nerve and midrib 

 prominent on the lower; length 2*5 to 4 in.; breadth 1'5 to 2*25 ; 

 petiole '6 to '75 in. Panicles from the branches below the leaves, much 

 branched ; the branches divaricate, all terete, many-flowered, longer 

 than the leaves. Flowers whitish, sessile, *4 in. across. Calyx cam- 

 panulate, suddenly contracted into a stout pseudo-stalk less than half 

 its length, the limb at first obscurely and broadly 4-toothed but 

 ultimately truncate. Petals 4, orbicular, rather more than '1 in. long, 

 calyptrate. Fruit ovoid-oblong, about the size of an olive, pulpy, 

 smooth, dark-purple, 1-seeded. Ham. in. Wern. Soc. Trans. Y, 342
