 lanceolate obtusely acuminate narrowed at the base coriaceous pale pellucid-

Leaves 2^-2f by 1-1 A in.; margins slightly revolute; midrib slender, orange- 

 coloured as well as the edges of the leaves ; petiole about in. Peduncles \ in. or 

 less. Corolla calyptrate. Style persistent, exserted. The leaves have a close resem- 

 blance to those of E. verecunda. 



108. XS. Heyneana, Wall. Cat. 3599 (Syzygiuni); leaves narrowly oblong" 

 or elliptic obtusely acuminate narrowed at the base into a short petiole finely

WESTERN PENINSULA ; beds of river* in BERAR ; BOMBAY GHATS and CONCAN, 

 Stocks ; CANARA, Ritchie ; COORG, Heyne ; SAGOK, Vicary. 



A small tree or shrub. Leaves 3-5 by f-1 in., pellucid-punctate. Cymes lax, 

 much branched. Flowers small, white. Berries in. or more in length, crowned with 

 the cup-like calyx-limb. 



E. salicifolia of Wight's Herbarium is certainly the E. Heyneana of Bottler's and 

 Wallich's herbaria. Wallich's E. salicifolia is E. wtbicunda, W. & A., a plant 

 having very much the habit of this, but with the inflorescence terminal. The wood 

 is used for rafters (Beddome). 



VAR. alternans ; cymes from the axils of the upper leaves. S. alternans, Miq. in 

 Herb. HohenacJcer. Concan and Canara, Stocks, Hohenacker. The leaves are very 

 like those of E. pellucida. 



SECT. III. Eueug-enia. Flowers solitary or in fascicles. Petals dis- 

 tinct. (To end.) 



* Young parts and inflorescence fulvous or silvery pubescent. (To p. 504.)
