192 Select Plants for Industrial Culture and 



Euclea undulata, Thunberg-. 



South-Africa. Berry small, red, edible. Other shrubby species 

 from the same portion of the globe also yield esculent fruits, which 

 under superior culture may vastly improve. 



Eucryphia cordifolia, Cavanilles. 



The Muermo or Ulmo of Chili. This magnificent evergreen tree 

 attains a height of over 100 feet, producing a stem sometimes (> 

 feet in diameter. The flowers are much sought by bees. For oars 

 and rudders the wood is preferred in Chili to any other [Dr. 

 Philippi]. We possess congeneric trees in Tasmania (jffi. Billardieri, 

 J. Hooker; and in New South Wales (E. Moorei, F. v. M.) 



Eug-enia Australia, Wendland. (E.myrtifolia, Sims not Koxburgh.) 



East-Australia. A handsome bush with palatable fruit. Careful 

 special culture would probably improve all Eugenia-fruits. 



Eugenia caryopliyllata, Thunberg. (Carynphyllus aromaticus, Linnc), 

 Moluccas. The Cloves-tree. Here cursorily mentioned, 

 although not strictly of any extra-tropic culture, but prospering as 

 far South with us as Moreton-Bay [Fr. Turner]. 



Eugenia cordifolia, Wight. 



Ceylon, up to 3,000 feet elevation. Fruit edible, of 1 inch 

 diameter. 



Eug-enia Hallii, Berg. 



Quito. Fruit of large size, edible. 



Eugenia Jambolana, Lamarck. 



Southern Asia, ascending to 5,000 feet in Kumaon, Polynesia, 

 probably hardy in extra-tropic latitudes. The fruit of this hand- 

 some and finally tall tree is about cherry-size, purplish-black 

 when ripe and edible ; it may perhaps be improved by well directed 

 skilful culture. Madame Van Nooten indeed in her splendid work 

 on Java-plants pictures fruits over 1-| inches long. The seeds have 

 come into use as a remedy against diabetes [Christy]. 



Eug-enia Jaxnbos, Linne. 



Continental and Insular India. A tree of middling size ; its 

 fruits known as Rose- Apples. Cultivated in Jamaica up to 4,000 

 feet [Fawcett] ; hardy in the mildest regions of Victoria. The 

 rosy-odorous fruit is best used as an admixture to various other 

 dishes. 



Eugenia maboides, Wight. 



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

 cherry [Dr. Thwaites].
