SILHET MTS., Wattich. 



A tree, quite glabrous ; branches terete or alternately compressed, or the ultimate 

 ones obscurely 4-gonous, swollen at the nodes, ashy-coloured. Leaves about 5 in., 

 twice or three times longer than the internodes ; nerves prominent beneath nearly 

 transverse ; petiole terete, in. Corymbs rather lax, two or three times shorter 

 than the leaves, shortly peduncled. Flowers large, white, on slender pedicels. Petals 

 orbicular, shortly clawed, twice as large as the calyx-lobes, minutely crenulate. Sta- 

 mens numerous, long, spreading. Berry pendulous, 1^ in. long, yellow. In some 

 of "Wallich's specimens named E. laurifolia the corymbs appear to be terminal. 



22. E. filiformis, Wall. MSS.; leaves petioled rather small nearly 

 ovate with a broad obtuse acumen coriaceous pellucidly dotted, cymes laxly 

 racemose terminal or lateral, flowers solitary on long slender pedicels, calyx- 

 tube turbinate or subcylindrical, lobes nearly equal, berries ovoid or roundish 

 crowned with the 4 reflexed calyx-lobes 2-seeded. Syzygium filiforme, Wall.

SINGAPORE and PENANG, Wallich ; MALAYA, Maingay, Griffith. 



Upper branches slender, rod-like, "terete, or subcompressed at the nodes. Leaves 

 2-3 by 1^-1 \ in. ; midrib prominent beneath, lateral nerves spreading out nearly at 

 right angles with the midrib ; petiole about j in. Pedicels 1 in. Calyx-tube f in. 

 Berries % in. long by f in. One of Maingay's specimens has a much longer almost 

 cylindrical calyx-tube. Wallich's E. (Syz.) capillaris seems to be only a state of E. 

 filiformis with thinner narrower leaves, shorter pedicels, and smaller flowers.
