long. The large fruits, of rosy odor, are wholesome 
and of agreeable taste. KE. Jambos, L., also from In- 
dia, produces likewise excellent fruit. 
Eugenia Nhanica, Cambessedes. — South Brazil. 
The berries, which are of plum size, are there a table 
fruit. 
Eugenia pyriformis, Cambessedes. — Uvalho do 
Campo of South Brazil. Fruit of pear size. 
Eugenie revoluta, Wight. — Ceylon, up to heights 
of 6,000 feet. Berry one inch in diameter. 
Eugenia rotundifolia, Wight.—Ceylon, up to 8,000 
feet, rejoicing therefore in a cool or even cold climate. 
Eugenia supra-axillaris, Spring. —The Tata of South 
Brazil. Fruit large. 
Eugenia Zeyheri, Harvey.—South Africa. <A tree 
attaining 20 feet in height. The berries are of cherry

even tropical trees, should be tested in East Gipps 
Land and other warm tracts of our colony, inasmuch 
as many of them endure a cooler clime than is gener-

Euryale ferox, Salisbury. — From tropical Asia to
