MYSORE AND GOOEG. 14& 



293 Eugenia floCCOSa, BbdD. Kan. Sime nerale. 



A beautiful tree of the Western Grliats. Should be 

 utilised within its range for scenic purposes. It is 

 figured and described in Beddome's Flora Sylvatioa, 

 page 200. 



294 Eugenia Heyneana, Wall. 



Fig— Wight III. a. 16 ; Wight Ic. t. 539. 



A small tree, or occasionally not more than a 

 shrub. Usually found in the beds of streams in Coorg 

 and the Malnad. A variable species, of which speci-

This large geniis, of which 131 species are enume- 

 rated by iVIr. J. F. Duthie, in the Flora of British

 value, neither do they adapt themselves readily to

 utility all over the country, the species Jambos and 

 Jambolana are as well suited as they are widely

 species of Eugenia are admirably adapted for orna- 

 mental effect. 



295 Barringtonia speciosa, Forst. 

 Yig.— Wight Ic. t. 547. 



An evergreen tree cultivated in the Botanical 

 Gardens, and known to be of great scenic value. Intro- 

 duced from Ceylon. It is doubtful if B. acutangula, 

 Gaertn. is found in Mysore.
