54. Eugenia grata, Wight 111. II, 15. A small glabrous tree: 

 young branches sub-terete, the bark pale-brown, loose. Leaves coria- 

 ceous, ovate-lanceolate to lanceolate, acuminate, the base acute ; upper 

 surface brown when dry, the lower pale, main-nerves numerous, 

 curving, ascending, interarching about '1 in. from the edge, distinct as 

 is the midrib on the lower surface in the young leaves, indistinct on the 

 upper: length 2 to 3*5 in. ; breadth '85 to 1*5 in. ; petiole '15 to '25 in. 

 Inflorescence and floivers as in E. zeylanica but the calyx-tube not 

 granular. Fruit ovoid, pellucid-dotted, crowned by the small calyx- 

 lobes, '2 in. long, black when ripe. Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. Beng.

A species very close to E. zeylanica but with somewhat larger leaves, glaucous 

 or sub-glaucous beneath. The best distinguishing marks lie however in the calyx- 

 tube which in this is smooth, and in the fruit which in this is ovoid and black. 



55. Eugenia tecta, King n. sp. A glabrous tree, 20 to 25 feet 

 high : young branches slender, 4-angled ; the bark dark-brown, flakey. 

 Leaves thinly coriaceous, almost sessile, ovate-lanceolate, shortly and 

 obtusely acuminate, the base rounded and minutely cordate ; both sur- 

 faces pale-brown when dry ; nerves numerous but scarcely visible, the 

 midrib prominent on the lower surface and bearing small scattered 

 tubercles ; length 2*5 to 3*25 in. ; breadth I'l to 1*6 in. ; petiole '05 to -1 

 in., densely covered with black tubercles. Flowers '5 or '6 in. long 

 (including the stamens), crowded in axillary or terminal fasicles, sessile. 

 Calyx widely funnel-shaped, tapered to the bracteolate base, minutely 

 dotted ; the limb wide, with 5 broad lobes. Petals orbicular, yellowish, 

 deciduous. Fruit unknown.
