3. Carallia eugenoidea, King n. spec. A tall tree ; young 

 branches slender*, glabrous, reddish when fresh, black when dry. Leaves 

 oblanceolate, the apex sub-acute, the base cuneate, the edges thickened 

 and with black glandular dots, entire ; upper surface shining when dry ; 

 the lower dull, the 6-8 pairs of spreading main-nerves slightly pro- 

 minent; length 175-225 in., breadth "8—1*1 in., petiole '2-"25 in. 

 Stipules in pairs, lanceolate, *25 in. long, caducous. Cymes axillary, 

 their peduncles an inch or more in length, bearing at the apex, on pedicels 

 as long as themselves, 3 flowers "25 in. in length. Calyx-tube narrowly 

 campanulate, with 5 triangular lobes as long as itself. Petals apparent- 

 ly none. Stamens twice as many as the calyx-lobes ; the filaments 

 alternately shorter, inserted on the 10-lobed disc. Ovary occupying the 

 tube of the calyx, 5-celled, with 2 nearly pendulous ovules in each cell ; 

 stigma 5-lobed. Fruit unknown.

In the externals of the flowers and also in its leaves this has a superficial 

 resemblance to a Eugenia ; but the presence of stipules and the structure of the 

 flower show it to be a true Carallia. 



6. Pellacalyx, Korth. 



Trees with bifarious opposite petiolate entire or obscurely serrulate 

 leaves and interpetiolar elongate caducous stipules. Flowers axillary, 

 solitary or in pairs, minutely bracteolate. Calyx ebracteolate, its tube 

 tubular-campanulate, adherent to the ovary at its base; the mouth 

 expanded and with 4-6 short recurved valvate teeth. Petals 4-6, 

 lacerate at the apex, inserted on the margin of the tube of the calyx. 

 Stamens 8-12, incurved, inserted on the margin of the thin crenulated 

 disc lining the calyx-tube. Ovary half-inferior, 5-10-celled. Style 

 subulate; stigma discoid, 5-10-lobed; ovules many in each cell, fasci- 

 cled, attached to the axis. Fruit fleshy, sub-globose, 5-10-celled, many- 

 seeded. Seeds ovoid, with striate testa; albumen copious with the 

 embryo in its axis ; cotyledons flat, narrow ; the radicle terete and 

 elongate. Distrib. Two species, both Malayan. 



Calyx-tube with 5 or 6 teeth ; flowers 5-merous ; leaves 



densely stellate rusty-pubescent beneath ... ... 1. P. axillaris. 



Calyx-tube with 4 teeth ; flowers 4-merous ; leaves glabrous 2. P. Saccardianus. 



1. Pellacalyx axillaris, Korth. in Yan der Hoev. & De Vr. 

 Tijdsch. Ill, 20, t. 2. Young branches rusty-pubescent. Leaves thinly 

 coriaceous, oblong, sometimes slightly wider above the middle, the apex 

 shortly and abruptly acuminate, the base rounded ; upper surface with 

 a few small scattered sub-stellate hairs, or sub-glabrous when old, the 

 midrib always pubescent; lower surface boldly reticulate and stellately
