Panicles small, racemose, in clusters of 6 to 8 at the apices of the 

 branches, few-flowered, unequal in length but all shorter than the leaves 

 and on more or less long, compressed, dark-coloured peduncles ; the 

 branches few, unequal in length but all under an inch, compressed ; 

 flowers in threes, sessile at the apices of the branchlets, the buds 

 clavate. Calyx campanulate, '25 in. long, constricted for more than 

 half its length into a thick pseudo-stalk: tlie mouth with 4 broad, 

 rounded lobes. Petals 4, orbicular not calyptrate. Fruit (unripe)

24. Eugenia Olarkeana, King, n. sp. A tree 30 to 50 feet high ; 

 young branches as stout as a quill, terete, compressed near the nodes, 

 brown. Leaves coriaceous, elliptic-oblong to elliptic, very shortly acumin- 

 ate, gradually narrowed from about or below the middle to the acute 

 base ; upper surface dark-brown, shining, not reticulate, the nerves 

 faintly impressed ; lower liver-coloured, rather dull, with numerous small 

 pustules, the 12 to 16 pairs of curved main-nerves slightly prominent, 

 the intramarginal nerves about "J in. distant from the slightly recurved 

 edge, reticulations invisible ; length 45 to 8 in. ; breadth 1 75 to 3 in. ; 

 petiole '3 to *35 in. Panicles mostly terminal, shorter than the leaves, 

 pyramidal, with many 4-angled, often compressed branches. Flowers 

 sessile, in densely crowded capitules at the apices of the branchlets, 

 about '35 in. across when expanded, white. Petals 4 or 5, free, broadly 

 oblong, not calyptrate. Calyx widely campanulate, neaily '2 in. long, 

 constricted at the base, rugulose ; its mouth with 4 broad, shallow, blunt 

 lobes. Fruit globular and 1-seeded or depressed-reniform and 2-seeded, 

 vertically corrugated when young, rugulose when ripe, shining, black, 

 crowned by the small circular remains of the calyx ; the globular form 

 •75 in. or more in diam., the reniform form about 1 in. long and 1'35 in. 

 broad ; pulp none.

Allied to E. Qriffithii, Dnthie, but with a single large terminal panicle instead 

 of a number of small ones and with smaller flowers. 



25. Eugenia corrugata. King n. sp. A tree, 30 to 60 feet high ; 

 young branches terete but compressed at the apices thinner than a 

 goose-quill, brown. Leaves as in E. Clarkeana, but the main-nerves 

 not depressed on the upper surface. Panicles terminal, short and few- 

 branched ; the branches terete. Flowers not seen. Fruit globular, 

 much corrugated and vertically ridged, especially towards the base and
