520 PHANEROGAMIA. 



however, nearly to the edge of the subcampanulate disk. Petals 4, 

 not over a line long, probably expanding in anthesis, caducous. 

 Stamens rather few, apparently about 20, little longer than the lobes 

 of the calyx, less than a line long, inserted on the edge of the disk : 

 filaments glandular-dotted. Style shorter than the stamens. Ovary 

 two-celled, with 10 or more ovules in each cell. Berry globular, "as 

 large as a cherry," containing one or two seeds, which, as likewise 

 the embryo, accord with those of Eugenia. 



This is one of the connecting forms between Eugenia, Acmena and 

 Syzygium; with the habit rather of the latter. 



The collection from Oahu contains the foliage only of another 

 Myrtaceous plant, probably a Eugenia.

The limb of the calyx is "evidently five-lobed," as DeCandolle 

 remarks; but the corolla appears to fall off as a lid. It would 

 perhaps fall into Blume's genus Microjambosa.

There are 8 or 10 ovules in each cell of the ovary. In Mr. Ben- 

 tham's plant, the cells are said to contain only two or three ovules.
