 bang near Banjoewiran, Borneo ; but Korthals's specific name is 

 invalid in Eugenia.

Eugenia cumingiana, Vid., a species originally described 

 from Philippine material, has been reported from British 

 North Borneo by Miss Gibbs. A eotype of Yidal's species is 

 before me, and I can detect no differences between it and 

 Eugenia acuminatissima, (Blume) Kurz. As the latter name 

 is invalid in Eugenia, I have followed Bobinson in accepting 

 the name supplied by Jambosa saligna, Miq., Miquel's species 

 having been reduced by Koorders and Valeton as a synonym 

 of Eugenia acuminatissima, Kurz.

The specimen I have identified with Korthals' species, 

 greatly resembles Eugenia zeylanica, Wight, but agrees witn 

 the short description of Syzygium rugosum, Korth., the type of 

 which was from Borneo, and differs notably from Eugenia 

 zeylanica, Wight, in the distinctly pitted upper surface of the 

 leaves, and its smooth, not tuberculate calyces, characters in- 

 dicated by Korthals. I do not consider that Miquel was 

 correct in referring Syzygium rugosum, Korth., together with 

 Myrtus zeylanica, Linn., Eugenia spicata, Lam., and Syzygium 

 zeylanicum, DC, to Eugenia varians, Miq. Miquel later, Fl. 

 Ind. Bat. I 1 (1855) 43?, referred Syzygium rugosum, Korth 

 to Jambosa? bracteata, Miq., which is apparently a synonym of 

 Eugenia zeylanica, (Linn.) Wight.
