Naturalisation in Extra-Tropical Countries. 193 



EUE enia BXalaccensis, Linne. 



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. Of others E. macrocarpa (Roxburgh), 

 E. Javanica (Lamarck), E. aquea (Burmann), E. amplexicaulis 

 (Roxburgh), also from Lower India, likewise produce edible fruit 

 of good size, and may perhaps endure a cool clime. 



Eugenia Nhanica. Cainbessedes. 



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 rotnndifolia, 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 

 (Wight), which extends to Upper India, edible ; so that of E. 

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



Eugenia Smithii, Foiret. 



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 tact 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 Tierneyana, F. v. Mueller. 



North- Eastern Australia. A tall tree. The red fruit is not 

 large, but produced in good quantity and can be made into a 

 palatable jam [Dallachy].
