smooth, the mouth with very broad short unequal lobes, very little 

 contracted at the base. Petals red, orbicular, longer than the calyx- 

 lobes, much shorter than the stamens. Fruit broadly oblong, the apex 

 truncate and crowned by the thick, deep, cup-shaped calyx, about 5 in. 

 long, the base abruptly contracted into a short pseudo-stalk.

This resembles E. diospyrifolia, Wall., but that species has long-stalked flowers, 

 with a narrower calyx- tube, and the nervation of the leaves is different. This also 

 resembles E. coarctata, Blume, which however differs in having pale terete young 

 branches and larger leaves, and E. semula, Blume, from which it differs in the 

 number of the nerves of the leaves and in its thicker young branches. From 

 E. macrocarpa, Roxb., this differs in its much thinner quadrangular branches and 

 much smaller flowers and fruit. 



VAR. parvifolia ; Zeaves narrowly oblong-lanceolate, only from 3 to 

 6 in. long and 8 to 1*25 in. broad.

11. Eugenia mollis, King n. sp. A hairy shrub or small tree : young 

 branches slender, pale-brown, 4-angled like the rachis and branches of 

 the panicle but not winged, covered with short, thick, brown hairs. 

 Leaves sub-coriaceous, oblong-lanceolate, the apex finely acuminate, 

 slightly narrowed to the rounded, slightly cordate base ; upper surface 

 pale olivaceous- brown, subglabrous ; the lower darker and everywhere 

 covered with hairs like those on the young branches and inflorescence ; 

 length 8 to 12 in. ; breadth 1 '75 to 4 in. ; petiole 'l to '2 in. Panicles 

 terminal, shortly pedunculate, nearly as long as the leaves ; the branches 

 spreading and more or less trichotomous at their extremities. Flowers 

 numerous but not crowded, about b in. across when expanded. Calyx- 

 tube '4 in. long, clavate, densely and minutely scurfy-hairy tapering 

 much to the short pedicel ; the mouth '3 in. across, divided into 4 

 subequal rounded lobes about '1 in. long, their edges thin and glabrous. 

 Petals orbicular, white, much longer than the calyx-lobes. Fruit ovoid- 

 globose, crowned by the cupular calyx, covered with deciduous scurf- 

 like hairs, *6 in. long.

12. Eugenia quadrata. King n. sp. A glabrous tree, 20 to 30 

 feet high : young branches as thick as a goose-quill, acutely 4-angled 

 and narrowly winged, pale-brown. Leaves thinly coriaceous, narrowly 

 oblong, much acuminate, slightly narrowed and cordate at the rounded 

 base ; upper surface pale olivaceous-brown when dry, the lower darker 

 brown and often not olivaceous ; main-nerves 20 to 25 pairs, slender,
