 Amb. 1, t. 39; Rheede Mai. \,t. 17. — Eugenia jambos, Rose 

 Apple ; often cultivated in gardens, but the fruit is insipid. Some 

 rather fine trees may be seen planted on the hill-fort of Pertabghur.

 Rheede Mai. \,t. 18 ; Rumph. Amb. 1, t. 37 and 38,/. 1— Culti- 

 vated in Bombay, but rather for the sake of the flowers than the 

 fruit. The flowers, of a deep crimson, are very ornamental. 



MELALEUCA, Polydelphia Polyandria. From wiefo.s, black ; 

 lenhos, white ; the trunk being black, and the branches white. 



9. M Genistifolia, Smith Ex. Bot. 1, i. 55. — Broom-leaved 

 Melaleuca. We have put down the species doubtfully, but neither 

 the habit nor the leaves answer to M cajputi. M genistifolia is a 

 native of New South Wales, v.'here it is called White Tea Tree. 

 There are several specimens in the gardens at Dapoorie and Hewra ; 

 they flower, but produce a fruit imperfectly developed.

10. F Mauritiana, Roxb. Fl. 2, p 489; Don's sy^t. 2, p 871. 

 — A longish-stemmed, weakly tree, with veinless leaves, having 

 the mid-rib of a reddish colour; flowers white. These we have 

 not seen; Parell Garden, probably introduced from Mauritius, 

 wliere it is indigenous, and is called Bois Pnant, — stinking wood. 



EUCALYPTUS, Linn., Icosandria Monogynia, DC. Prod. 3, 

 p 2 ! 6. Name derived from the Greek cu ; and kahjpti, to cover ; 

 in reference to the structure of the flower and its calyx. 



11. E (?) sp. — Gum tree of Australia. Of these we have 



at least two species in the Botanical Gardens at Hewra and 

 Dapnorie. Tall slender trees, having entire coriaceous alternate 

 leaves. As they have never produced flowers, we remain uncertain 

 as to the species to which they can be referred. They were raised 

 from Australian seed received through the late Dr. Griffith.

1. Biennis. — Coiuraon Evening Primrose, Belgaum. In 

 gardens, Mr. Law. 



2. O Molissima. — Native of South America. In gardens at 

 Belgaum, Mr, Law. Besides these we might bring forward 

 numerous other species or varieties raised in [irivate gardens from 

 seed, but these are of a character too evanescent to allow of their 

 appearing in this list.
