ompared with the type of Bonpland, in Herb. Paris, I find it so 
different that I cannot but separate the two plants, at least as two 
different varieties.

It closely resembles S. patezs Pancher, but is quite distinct 
from it, S. patems having larger flowers, thicker pedicels and in- 
florescence axes, its obovate leaves being rounded and emarginate 
at the top. Our species must be placed inthe group of Hugenza — 
eventually Syzygium Zeylanicum DC. 
edicated to Dr. Schlechter, who first pointed out that it might 
be a new species. 
Psipium SALUTARE Berg, Linnaea 27: 356. 1854 
Bergin Mart, Fl. Brasil. made a mistake in quoting Schomburgk 
zo. ogr under Psidium parviflorum Benth. Journ. Bot. 2: 31 
because this number in Herb. N. Y. Bot. Gard., as well as in 
Herb. Kew, is without any doubt Psidium salutare. 
The type of Pstdium parviflorum which may be seen in Herb. 
Kew differs even at first sight by its smaller and nitescent leaves.
