straight, inconspicuous like the reticulations, intramarginal nerve very 

 near the edge ; length 4*5 to 5*5 in. ; breadth 1*75 to to 2*25 in. j petiole 

 •3 to '4 in. Fanicles mostly axillary, sometimes terminal, 3 to 4 in. 

 long, pedunculate, pyramidal, the branches nearly horizontal, all terete. 

 Flowers mostly in threes at the apices of the branchlets, sessile, clavate 

 in bud. Calyx nearly '15 in. long, obconic, with a sub-obtuse base ; the 

 mouth thickened, undulate, indistinctly 5-toothed. Petals calyptrate. 

 Stamens unequal. Fruit unknown.

This resembles E. Bernardi, King, but differs in having clavate, not shortly 

 obovoid, flower-buds, and in its panicles being usually lateral not terminal. The 

 leaves of the two are much alike. Ridley's specimens collected in the garden jungle 

 (8104 and 9845) probably belong to this but the panicle is laxer aud its branches 

 thinner. 



93. Eugenia Curtisii, King n. sp. A tree, 60 to 80 feet high; 

 young branches thinner than a goose-quill, terete, the bark brown and 

 peeling off in flakes. Leaves coriaceous, oblong-lanceolate or oblong- 

 elliptic, rarely oblanceolate, the apex shortly and bluntly acuminate, 

 the base cuneate, the edges slightly recurved when dry, both surfaces 

 when dry pale olivaceous-brown, shining, obscurely pustulate, the 

 lower less shining and darker in colour than the upper and with 

 numerous very distinct minute conical concolorous pustules ; the midrib 

 depressed on the upper but prominent and pustulate on the lower 

 surface ; main and secondary nerves numerous, spreading, interarching 

 less than "1 in. from the slightly recurved edge, rather distinct on the 

 lower but faint on the upper surfaces ; length 3 to 5*5 in. ; breadth 1 to 

 2 in. ; petioles '15 to "2 in. Panicles terminal, from half as long as to 

 as long as the leaves, branched from the base, dense, many-flowered, 

 broader than long, the main-branches spreading, terete, the secondary 

 and tertiary acutely 4-angled, all stout, the bark very granular, 

 ultimately flakey. Flowers crowded at the ends of the branchlets, '2 in. 

 long (including the stamens), sub-globose in bud. CaZ^/o; campanulate, 

 narrowed to the base and produced into a short pseudo-stalk, granular, 

 shining: the mouth wide, with 5 small, broadly triangular teeth. 

 Petals 5, papillose outside, orbicular, ? calyptrate. Fruit unknown.
