KHASIA MTS., Griffith, J. D. H. & T. T. ; KURG MTS., Munro ; NILGHIRIS 

 Gardner. 



A middling-sized tree, 12-20 ft. in height. Leaves 6-9 by f-3 in. Calyx-lobes 

 somewhat membranous. Some of the Khasia specimens appear to be intermediate 

 between this and E. aquea : the leaves are less attenuated at the apex, and not quite 

 so prominently nerved ; the flowers are rather larger than in either, and the calyx 

 not so slender below as in typical examples of this species. 



7. US. aquea, Burm. FL Ind. 114: leaves nearly sessile ovate oblong or 

 ovate-lanceolate often cordate at the base, cymes terminal and from the upper 

 axils shortly peduncled 3-7-flowered, fruit turbinate flattened at both ends.

CHITTAGONG, AVA, PEGU, MARTABAN, and TENASSERIM (apparently only planted, 

 Kurz). CEYLON, ascending to 5000 ft. 



A middling-sized tree, 20-30 ft., much-branched, variable in the form of its 

 foliage, the shape of the calyx-tube, and the colour of the flowers. Bark smooth, ash- 

 coloured. Leaves coriaceous, black-dotted, 1^2^ by 11^ in. ; midrib prominent be- 

 low, primary nerves 8-10 on each side forming inconspicuous loops near the mar- 

 gin. Flowers large, white, red, or pale purple. Calyx-tube turbinate or cylindrical, 

 about 1 in. 



8. ZS. densiflora, DC. Prodr. iii. 287 under Jambosa ; leaves petioled 

 oblong or oblong-lanceolate rounded at both ends or shortly acuminate the 

 apex coarsely nerved and reticulated, cymes compact terminal, flowers 2 fl|f3 

 together on short pedicels, " calyx and petals tinned with clear rose-colour, 

 filaments long rose-coloured " (Maingay MSS.), fruit nearly spherical 2-seeded.

MALACCA and SINGAPORE, Maingay, No. 758, 760, 760. DISTRIB. Malayan 

 Islands. 



Upper branches stout, 4-gonous, with reddish bark peeling off in shreds. Leaves 

 from 4 to upwards of 10|- by- 1-3 in., slightly polished above, often conspicuously 

 dotted beneath ; midrib stout ; primary nerves distinct on both surfaces, prominent 

 beneath and uniting to form two conspicuous intramarginal nerves ; petiole f in. 

 Branches of inflorescence thick and 4-gonous, often articulated and breaking up into 

 cubical segments. Calyx-tube turbinate, f in. ; lobes 4, large, rounded, with mem- 

 branous edges, opposite pairs equal. Style long, persistent. Fruit % in. in diam., 

 crowned with the persistent calyx-lobes. Allied to E. Jambos, from which it differs 

 in the shape and nerving of the leaves, smaller flowers and more unequal calyx-lobes. 

 The leaves of the Sincapore specimens are much smaller and less distinctly punctate 

 below. Miquel says (Fl. Ind. Bat. 1. c.) " seems to be the same as E. corymbosa, 

 Koxb. (Wight Ic. ii. 627)," but the petals in Roxburgh's coloured ng. No. 1143 are 

 bright yellow.
