TiPPERAH Hills, Eoxbwrgh ; Pbgu, Kurs. 



Bark dark brown, smooth. Ovary 2-celled. — Wight's figure is copied from Eox- 

 burgh's (7(3. 1. 1560) with the addition of a terminal panicle. Miqnel (Fl. Ind. Bat. i. 

 pt. i. 456) compares it with Syz. Kalahiense, Korth, but the leaves of the latter are 

 smaller and of a different shape. In Kurz' specimens the branchlets have white 

 bark. 



61. X!. G-ardnerl, Thwaites Enuni. 117 {Syzygium); leaves pale green 

 ovate-lanceolate rostrate-aotiminate faintly parallel-nerved teneath pellucid- 

 punctate, cymes axillary and terminal sborter tlian the leaves, calyx obscurely 

 4rtoothed, berry spberical size of a small cherry. 



Anamallat and Tinnevellt Ghats, up to 4000 ft. alt., Beddome ; Ceylon, 

 Central Provinces, alt. 2-4000 ft. alt., Thiuaites. 



A moderate-sized tree; branchlets terete or subtetragouous. Leaves 2^4 by l-lf 

 in. ; petiole slender, about J in. Flowers small. Petals cohering and falling to- 

 gether. — ^Very close to E. vemista, Eoxb., with which Mr. Kurz unites it; the 

 marginal nerves are further from the edge, and the panicles are mostly terminal and 

 more compact. 



62. E. subavenis, Duthie ; leaves ovate sbortly and obtusely acuminate or 

 retuse narrowed towards the base quite smootb on both surfaces nearly nerveless, 

 cymes longer than tbe leaves. E. umbrosa, Thwaites Unmn. 118 (Sya.), not of 

 Serg; Bedd. Fl. Sylv. Anal. Gen. cviii. 



Ceylon ; open grassy places in the Central Provinces, alt. 5-6000 ft., Thwaites. 



A moderate-sized tree, very much branched ; ultimate branches 4-angled. Leaves 

 1-2 in. by J-nearly an inch in width ; petiole about ^ in. — This differs from E. lisso- 

 phylla in the shape and nervation of the leaves ; the inflorescence is similar in both 

 i(Thwaites). 



63. ZS. valdevenosa, Duthie ; leaves large elliptic acuminate petioled, 

 midrib very prominent beneath, lateral nerves uniting to form a conspicuous mar- 

 ginal que interspaces finely and sharply reticulate, cymes terminal lax, calyx- 

 tube gradually tapering to the base quadrangular lobes shallow, berry globose 

 size of a small cherry crowned with tbe slightly projecting calyx-limb. E. 

 elliptica, WM. 3587 (Syz.) ; not of Lam. nor Smith. 



Pbnang, Wallich ; Malacca, Maingay (723 & 762). 



A tree, about 15 ft. high (Maingay) ; branchlets tetragonous. Leaves 8-13 by 

 3— 4J in. ; primary nerves 1-^ in. apart ; marginal nerves double ; petiole \ in. or 

 more. Branches of inflorescence angled and winged. Calyx-tube about \ in. Petals 

 falling together. Style persistent. 



64. Zi. scoparia, Wall. Cat. 3594 {Syzygium) ; branchlets virgate 

 4-gonous leaves shortly petioled ascending elliptic-lanceolate acuminate minutely 

 -and densely glandular lateral nerves inconspicuous, cymes ascending lax few- 

 flowered, flowers small, calyx squarrose very shortly 4-lobed, corolla calyptrate, 

 stamens short, fruit small spherical. 



SmcAPOEE, Wallich. 



Leaves 2i-2| by |-1 in., reddish-brown above and yellowish beneath when dried, 

 margins slightly revolute ; petiole ^ in. Berry crowned with the remains of the calyx- 

 limb, wrinfled in drying. Style short, persistent in the pit formed by the produced 

 calyx-limb. — Eesembles Syzygium avene, Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. Suppl. i. 312, and per- 

 haps not specifically distinct.
