A moderate-sized tree. Leaves 4-6 by 1^-1 f in. The nervation forms a charac- 

 teristic feature in this species, the lateral nerves uniting in a double system of intra- 

 marginal loopings, the inner one being situated about half-way between the midrib and 

 the margin ; petiole J-g- in. Flowers large, ^ to nearly 1 in. diam., white, turning to 

 purple. Calyx-tube f to nearly 1 in. long. Petals orbicular, dotted. Fruit -f in. 

 diam. Blume (Mus. Bot. i. 114) compares this with his Clavimyrtus virens ; but the 

 latter is distinguished by a more contracted inflorescence and the calyx shorter and 

 less attenuated below. 



28. E. ramosissima, Wall. Cat. 3604; leaves lanceolate or oblong- 

 lanceolate attenuated towards the base acuminate subcoriaceons pellucid-punc- 

 tate, cymes axillary and terminal much branched, branches spreading, calyx-tube 

 clavate or narrowly obconical, lobes rounded nearly equal, petals densely glan- 

 dular. Clavimyrtus ramosissima, Blume Mus. Bot. i. 115.

A tree ; branchlets terete, with a pale yellow bark. Leaves 3-4 by about l-l|in. t 

 shining above, obscurely dotted, with a long acumen, narrowing at the base into a 

 short petiole, reticulate-nerved beneath ; midrib prominent ; primary nerves few, 

 slender, uniting in a looping one within the margin. Calyx-tube f in., tapering 

 gradually to the base with nearly straight sides. This species resembles Jambosa 

 glabrata DC. but differs in the less slender and more branched peduncles ; the leaves 

 are narrower at the base and the nerves are more prominent. 



29. E. Heifer i, Duthie ; upper branches 4-gonous, leaves shortly petioled 

 lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate acuminate coriaceous pellucid-dotted, nerves 

 inconspicuous primaries numerous uniting within the margin, interspaces 

 finely reticulate, cymes terminal and from the upper axils branched shorter than 

 the leaves, calyx-tube clove-shaped in., lobes 4, opposite pairs equal. 



MERGTJI, Heifer (2418). SINGAPORE, Lobb. 



Bark of upper branches and of inflorescence reddish, deciduous. Leaves 3^-4 by 

 1-1^ in. ; petiole about in. Allied to J. Teysmanni, Miq. and E. ramosissima ; from 

 the latter it differs in having thicker leaves, the primary nerves much closer and less 

 prominent beneath, but with a more distinctly continuous marginal one, branches of 

 the inflorescence more erect, and flowers smaller. 



30. E. mangifolia, Wall. Cat. 3619 ; leaves ovate-lanceolate acuminate 

 thick coriaceous nervation prominent on both surfaces interspaces finely reticu- 

 late, cymes axillary and terminal corymbose, flowers large numerous, calyx-tube 

 fin. dilated above* petals free. E. reticulata, Wight III. ii. 16 ; Ic. t. 541.

Branchlets terete. Leaves 3-5 by 1-2 in., shining above; lateral nerves uniting 

 close to the margin sometimes in two continuous ones. Calyx much produced above 

 the ovary. This differs from E. inophylla in the more prominent nerves of the leaves 

 and in the shape of the calyx. Miquel (Fl. Ind. Bat. i. pt. i. 435) speaks of it as 

 being closely related to Jambosa conferta, Korth. 



31. E. inophylla, Roxb. Hort. Beng. 37; Fl. Ind. ii. 496; leaves 

 shortly petioled ovate-oblong with an acute base obtusely acuminate closely 

 nerved dark above and shining, cymes terminal corymbose, calyx clove-shaped,
