IN EXTRA-TROPICAL COUNTRIES. 123 



Eugenia pyriformis, Cambessedes. 



Uvalho do Campo of South Brazil. Fruit of pear size. 



Eugenia revoluta, Wight. 



Ceylon, up to heights of 6,000 feet ; berry 1 inch in 

 diameter. 



Eugenia rotundifolia, Wight. 



Ceylon, up to 8,000 feet; rejoicing, therefore, in a cool or even 

 cold climate. 



Eugenia supra-axillaris, Spring. 



The Tata of South Brazil. Fruit larsre. 



Eugenia uniflora, Linne. 



Extra-tropical South America. A tree of beautiful habit with 

 edible fruits of cherry size. Dr. Lorentz mentions also as a 

 sub-tropical Argentine fruit species E. Mato. 



Eugenia Zeyheri, Harvey. 



South Africa. A tree attaining 20 feet in height. The 

 berries are of cherry size and edible. The relative value of 

 the fruits of many Asiatic, African, and American species of 

 Eugenia remains to be ascertained ; many of them furnish, 

 doubtless, good timber, and all more or less essential oil ; some 

 probably also superior fruit. All such, even tropical trees, 

 should be tested in warm tracts of the temperate zone, 

 inasmuch as many of them endure a cooler clime than is 

 generally supposed. Hence Anona muricata, L., the Soursop 

 Bush of West India, should also be subjected to test culture 

 for the yield of its sweet, fragrant, melon-like fruit j and not 

 less so Anona squamosa, L., the Sweetsop Shrub or Tree of 

 Central America, for the sake of its very pleasant fruit. 



Eupatorium triplinerve, Vahl. (E. Ayapana, Ventenat.) 



Central America. A perennial somewhat shrubby herb, possibly 

 hardy in the warmer parts of extra-tropical countries. It is 

 used as a medicinal plant, also as an alexipharmic. It con- 

 tains eupatorin and much essential oil, peculiar to the plant. 



Euryale ferox, Salisbury. 



From tropical Asia to Japan. Though less magnificent than 

 the grand Victoria Regia, this closely allied Water Lily is much 

 more hardy, and would live unprotected in ponds and lakes of 

 a temperate climate. Though not strictly an industrial plant,
