A tree. Trunk straight. Young branches t?rete-compressed, polished. Leaves 

 upwards of 4f by 2^ in., thickly coriaceous ; lateral nerves rather close, spreading 

 transversely ; petiole about Jin. Calyx J in. — ^In.Wallich'a specimens (3600) the 

 petals appear to be calyptrate. Although resembling the clove-tree it possesses no 

 kind of fragrance : the large pear-shaped berries are not eatable (Roxburgh). 



Seci. II. Syzygium. i^/oroers small, in compact cymes. Cal^x ■without 

 a thickened staminal disk, tube turbinate rarely elongate ; limb 4-5-lobed, or 

 truncate. Petals usually calyptrate. Berries small, globose pyriform or oblong, 

 1-2-seeded (to p. 500). 



* Cymes terminal and axillary, rarely from leafless axils (to p. 496). 



t Petals usually free (to p. 488). 



§ Calyx short, turbinate or mheylindrical. 



% Berries globose or subfflobose. 



a. Lateral nerves of leaves rather distant.

 nerves close imiting at some distance from the margin, cjmes ternunal corym- 

 bose, calyx-tube tiu-binate about | in. lobes unequal, petals free or slightly 

 combined.

"Avery large tree " (Griff.) ; branchlets terete, grey, polished. Leaves 3-S^ iy 

 1 j-l| in., shining above, dark vrhen dry. Inflorescence-'hia.ncbes sharply angled, alter- 

 nately compressed upwards. Inner calyx-lohes broad and petaloid, appearing to fall 

 early with the corolla, the two outer ones narrower and gibbous below. Style long, 

 persistent. — In Griffith's plant the inflorescence is more branched and longer than the 

 leaves, and the flowers are smaller (| in.). 



33. E. G-riffithil, JDuthie ; leaves ovate or oblong-lanceolate narrowed at 

 both ends coriaceous smooth and shining above, nerves impressed above promi- 

 nent beneath, cymes terminal or from the upper axils, flowers 2 or 3 together at 

 the ends of long compressed branches, calyx-lobes imequal, petals free thick 

 edges membranous. 



Malacca, Griffith 2375. 



Branchlets terete. Leaves 5-6 by 2-2J in., shortly petioled ; lateral nerves unit- 

 ing in conspicuous loops at some distance from the margin and with a fainter set near 

 the inargin, interspaces reticulate. Calyx-tube about I in. 



34. E. Thumra, Boxb. Hort. Beng. 92 ; Fl. Ind. ii. 495 ; leaves broadly 

 ovate or ovate-lanceolate shortly acuminate base subacute dark and shining

 uniting conspicuously within the margin, cymes terminal and axUlary long- 

 peduncled, flowers sessile umbellate, calyx-lobes 4 rounded, petals free, berry
