Eugenia^ Myrtacece. 173 



sessile, cymes strictly terminal, with very short branches, so 

 as to be corymbose or umbellate ; cal. (when in fl.) very long, 

 |-i^ in., tubular-funnel-shaped, gradually tapering to slender 

 stalk-like base, mouth | in. diam., almost truncate, with 

 shallow rounded segm.; pet. calyptrate (or sometimes expand- 

 ing), large, reddish outside ; fruit broadly ovoid, about f in., 

 somewhat urceolate, crowned with rather long cal.-limb. 



Var. /3 minor, Trim. Syzygium calophyllifolium, Thw. Enum. 118 

 (non E. calophyllifolia, Wight). C. P. 160. 



L. much smaller, not exceeding 1 in., very shortly stalked, 

 fruit about \ in., nearly globular, purple. 



Upper montane zone ; in open sunny places. The type only in the 

 North-eastern mountain block, Wattekelle (Ferguson), Knuckles Hills 

 and Rangala Ridge. Var. /3, Adam's Peak (Gardner and Thwaites). Fl. 

 April ; pinkish-white. 



Endemic. 



Var. /3 seems to differ altogether from E. calophyllifolia (to which 

 it is still referred in Fl. B. Ind.) in its leaf-venation as well as its 

 remarkably long calyx. The C. P. specimens are in fruit only, and I 

 have not seen the flowers.

 rous ; fl. sessile or nearly so, in 3s at ends of quadrangular 

 branches of terminal, and axillary cymes generally exceeding 

 1. ; cal. shortly campanulate, segm. short, rounded ; pet.
