SPECIES OF EUGENIA, SCHEFFLEBA, AND SAUKAUIA. 23 



angustatis. longe et tenuiter subcandato-acuminatis, interdum 

 leviter falcatis, basi angustatis, acutis vel subobtusis ; nervis 

 lateralibus utrinque 12 — IT, subtus perspicuis, promiimlis, 

 anastomosantibus ; fioribus terminalibus, solitariis, circiter 5 

 cm. diametro, pedicellatis : ealyeibus late infundibuliformibus, 

 tubo circiter 2 can. longo. 



A glabrous tree the branches slender, terete, the ultimate 

 internodes distinctly 4-angled, slender, 2 mm. in diameter or 

 less. Leaves lanceolate, sometimes slightly falcate, ehartace- 

 ous. subolivaceous. 12 to 20 cm. long, 2 to 4.5 cm. wide, 

 gradually narrowed upward to the long and slenderly acu- 

 minate apex, the acumen often distinctly caudate and up to 2.5 

 cm. in length, and below to an acute or somewhat obtuse base; 

 primary lateral nerves 12 to IT on each side of the midrib, 

 prominent on the lower surface, somewhat curved, anastomos- 

 ing with the equally distinct marginal nerves 3 to 4 mm. from 

 the edge of the leaf, the latter slightly arched between the 

 anastomoses, the reticulations rather close, distinct under a 

 lens; petioles 4 to 8 mm. long, i'lowers terminal, solitary, 

 rather large, in anthesis about 5 cm. in diameter, their pedicels 

 1 to 2 cm. long, distinctly jointed to the calyx. Calyx broadly 

 funnel-shaped, the throat about 1.5 cm. in diameter, the lobes 

 suborbicular-reniform, subcoriaceous, about 8 mm. in diameter, 

 the tube rather abruptly narrowed below forming a short 

 pseudostalk. Style slender, about 3.5 cm. long.

This species is strongly characterized by its lanceolate, 

 slenderly acuminate leaves which distinctly resemble those of 

 Eugenia fambos, Linn.: its slender terete branches and dis- 

 tinctly 4-angled ultimate internodes of the branchlets; and 

 the large, solitary, terminal, pedicelled flowers. It apparent- 

 ly belongs in the group of Eugenia jumbos, Linn., but is not 

 closely allied to that species. 



Eugenia subracemosa, sp. nov. § J a inborn. 



Arbor glabra, ramulis rugosis, distincte angulatis; foliis 

 oppositis, coriaceis, in siccitate utrinque purpureo-brunneis, 

 nitidis, coriaceis, oblongis vel oblongo-obovatis, utrinque sub- 

 aequaliter angustatis, petiolatis, basi acutis vel acuminatis, 

 apiee acuminatis, usque ad 18 om. longis, margine recurvatis, 

 supra impresso-puncticulatis, nervis utrinque circiter 10, ad- 

 scendentibus, perspicuis, juxta marginem anastomosantibus, 

 reticulis obsoletis ; inflorescentiis brevibus, subracemosis, pau- 

 cifloris, fasciculatis, e tuberculis in ramis vetustioribus, usque 

 ad 3 cm. longis; fioribus brevissime pedicellatis; calycis tubo 

 turbinate, circiter 3 mm. longo et 4 mm. diametro, deorsum 

 angustato : petulis 4, liberis, circiter 4 mm. longis.
