150 Select Plants for Industrial Culture 



Eugenia maboides, Wight. 



Ceylon, up to 7,000 feet elevation. Fruit of the size of a small 

 cherry (Dr. Thwaites). 



Eugenia Malaccensis, Linn<$. 



The large Rose-Apple. India. A tree, attaining a height of 40 

 feet, but fruiting already as a shrub. Although strictly a tropical 

 plant, it has been admitted into this list as likely adapted for warmer 

 forest-regions in extra-tropic zones. The leaves are often a foot long. 

 The large juicy fruits, of rosy odor, are wholesome and of agreeable 

 taste. E. Jambos (L.), E. macrocarpa (Roxburgh), E. Javanica 

 (Lamarck), E. aquea (Bnrmann), E. amplexicaulis (Roxburgh), also 

 from Lower India, likewise produce edible fruit of good size, and 

 may perhaps endure a cool clime. 



Eugenia Nhanica, Cambessedes. .. 



South-Brazil. The berries, which are of the size of plums, are 

 there a table-fruit. 



Eugenia pyriformis, Cambessedes. 



Uvalho do Campo of South-Brazil. Fruit of pear-size and edible. 



Eugenia revoluta, Wight. 



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

 edible. 



Eugenia rotundifolia, Wight. 



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

 climate. The fruit of this and the allied E. calophylloides (E. 

 calophyllifolia, Wight), which extends to Upper India, edible; so 

 that of E. Arnottiana (Wight), which tree ascends to 7,000 feet. 



Eugenia Smithii, Poiret. 



From Gippsland to Queensland. A splendid large umbrageous tree, 

 but not of quick growth, and requiring rich soil in river-valleys for its 

 perfect development. The bark contains about 17 per cent, tannin. 

 This fact may give a clue to the recognition of the same tan- 

 principle in the barks of numerous other species of the large genus 

 Eugenia. 



Eugenia supra-axillaris, Spring. 



The Tata of South-Brazil. Fruit large, edible. 



Eugenia unifLora, Linne". (E. Michellii, Lamarck.) 



From Extra-tropical South- America extending to the Antilles. 

 A tree of beautiful habit, with edible fruit of cherry-size. Dr. 

 Lorentz mentions also as a sub-tropical Argentine fruit-species E. 

 Mato (G-risebach). Hieronymus adduces similarly E. ligustrina 

 (Willdenow) and E. edulis (Bentham), the fruit of the latter species 

 being of apple-size.
