CEYLON, alt. 3-5000 ft,, Thwaites. 



A small tree. Leaves 1-1 f by ^- in. Berries spherical, red turning to black, 

 size of a pea. This plant differs from E. rubicunda in the direction of the lateral 

 nerves, and in the shape of the calyx-tube, which becomes more suddenly narrowed 

 towards the base. 



89. E. rubicunda, Wight III. ii. 15 ; Ic. t. 538 ; leaves shortly petioled 

 narrow oblong attenuated at both ends obtuse coriaceous pellucid-punctate, 

 primary nerves close, cymes terminal corymbose longer than the leaves, flowers 

 minute, calyx repandly 4-lobed shortly turbinate. Bedd. Fl. Sylv. Anal. Gen. 

 cviii. ; Dalz. fy Gibs. Bomb. Fl. 94. Syzygium rubicundum, W. fy A. Prodr.

TINNEVELLY DISTRICT, common up to 3000 ft. alt., Beddome. 



A small tree, or large shrub : branchlets 4-gonous. Leaves 2^-3 by about ^ in. ; 

 petiole ^ in. The leaves are narrower and more prominently nerved than in 

 E. lissophylla, from which however Col. Beddome believes it to be not specifically 

 distinct. 



90. E. cuneata, Wall. Cat. 3598 (Syzygium) ; leaves narrow obovate- 

 lanceolate obtuse tapering below into a short petiole lateral nerves horizontal, 

 cymes from the terminal axils exceeding the leaves, flowers small, calyx- 

 tube narrowly turbinate f- in. truncate above, petals calyptrate, berry size 

 of a pea. 



SILHET, Wallich ; E. BENGAL, Griffith ; KHASIA MTS., 3-5000 ft., J. D. H. $ T. T. 

 Branchlets 4-gonous. Leaves about If by in., smooth above, reticulate beneath. 

 Inflorescence often leafy. 



Cymes terminating previous year's branches. 



91. E. papillosa, Duthie; under surface of leaves young branches and 

 pedicels clothed with rusty-coloured scurf, leaves large subsessile and somewhat 

 amplexicaul obovate-oblong midrib and nerves very prominent beneath, cymes 

 crowded at the extremities of year-old branches, calyx clove-shaped. 



MALAY PENINSULA, Maingay, 737. 



Branchlets terete or subtetragonous, stout. Leaves 7-9 by 3| in. ; lateral nerves 

 uniting conspicuously within the margin, dark above when dry, reddish beneath. In- 

 florescence-bTanches long, stout, compressed upwards. Bracts 2 at the base of each 

 flower. Calyx-tube \ hi. ; lobes 4, prominent, subtriangular, obtuse, reflexed. Petals 

 falling together. One of Beccari's Borneo plants No. 2521, with larger leaves and 

 flowers, has a similar clothing of reddish scurf. 



92. E. pustulata, Duthie : leaves oblong acuminate narrowed below 

 subcoriaceous nerves whitish prominent beneath distant uniting conspicuously 

 within the margin, cymes terminating year-old branches, sepals acute, petals 

 falling in one piece. 



MALACCA, Maingay, (751). 



Branchlets terete ; rough with prominent glands, especially the upper branches, 

 and the midribs and nerves of the leaves. Leaves 4|-7 by l-2^ in., indistinctly
