22 SPECIES OF EUGENIA, SCHEFFLERA, AND SAURAUIA. 



Eugenia castanea, Merr. in J., S. B., R. A. S. 77 (1917) 212. 



Sarawak, Bergark, Haviland 122, January 8, 1889. The 

 specimens differ from the type in having terete branchlets, 

 while the bark is not at all fiakey. These specimens much re- 

 sembles Koorders's figure of Eugenia amplifiora, Koord. & Val. 



Eugenia caudatilimba, Merr. in J., S. B., E. A. S. 77 (1917) 

 216. 



Sarawak, Kuching, Haviland 2925, April 13, 1893. 

 Eugenia alcinae, Merr. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 10 (1915) Bot. 216. 



Sarawak, Brooketon, Haviland 51S, June 21, 1892; 

 Brunei, Haviland 67/38 without date. 



Eugenia kingii, sp. no v. § Jambosa. 



Species E. plumb eae affinis, differt foliis minoribus, nervis 

 utrinque 5 vel 6. 



A glabrous ishrub, the brandies terete, cinereous, the 

 branchlets reddish-brown, rather slender, distinctly 4-angled, 

 each internode thickened upward. Leaves opposite, chartace- 

 ous to subcoriaceous, lanceolate, 5 to 8 cm. long, 1.5 to 2.5 

 cm. wide, above brownish-olivaceous, smooth, shining, beneath 

 paler, not punctate, narrowed upward to the rather slenderly 

 acuminate apex and below to the obtuse to subacute base ; 

 lateral nerves 5 or 6 on each side of the midrib, prominent 

 on the lower surface, somewhat ascending, anastomosing with 

 the equally distinct marginal nerves about 2 mm. from the 

 edge of the leaf, the reticulations distinct; petioles 2 to 

 3 mm, long. Cymes terminal, subsessile, 3- to 5-flowered, 

 the rachis and very short branches 6 mm. long, or less. 

 Flowers white, about 3 cm. in diameter, the calyx turbinate- 

 infundibuliform, about 1.5 cm. long, narrowed below into a 

 very short pseudostalk, the throat about 1.5 cm. in diameter; 

 lobes reniform, coriaceous, 7 to 9 mm. wide. Styles slender, 

 about 3.5 cm. long. 



Sarawak, Bongaya, Ridley 9071, December, 1897, 

 "shrub, flowers white/' 



This specimen is mentioned by King 1 as being allied to 

 Eugenia plumb ea, King, from which it differs, however, in its 

 smaller leaves, the lateral nerves being but one-half as many 

 as in King's species. 



Eugenia monantha, sp. nov.- § Jambosa. 



Arbor glabra, ramis teretibus, ramulis ultimis tenuibus, 

 distincte 4-angulatis; foliis lanceolatis, epunctatis, chartaceis, 

 usque ad 20 cm. longis, subolivaceis, nitidis, sursum gradatim 



Jour. Straits Branch
