SPECIES OF EUGENIA. SCHEFFLERA, AXD SAURAFIA. 25 



base broadly rounded and distinctly cordate, subamplexieaul ; 

 midrib impressed on the upper surface/ prominent beneath; 

 lateral nerves about 12 on each side of the midrib, somewhat 

 curved, slender, distinct, slightly projecting on the lower sur- 

 face, anastomosing with the subequally distinct and slightly 

 arched marginal nerves about 5 mm. from the edge of the leaf. 

 Inflorescences short, cymose. axillary and terminal, the rachis 

 of the lateral inflorescences solitary, less than 1 cm. long, 

 usually 2- or 3-flowered. the terminal inflorescences about 

 2.5 cm. long, including the flowers, dense, the whole in- 

 florescence about -1 cm. in diameter, the branches about 1 cm. 

 long, each usually 3-flowered. Flowers about 1.8 cm. long and 

 nearly as wide in anthesis, when dry dark-brown. Calyx-tube 

 at least 1 cm. long, gradually narrowed below forming a 

 pseudostalk. sessile, in bud clavate. Sepals orbicular-reniforin, 

 about -1 mm. wide. Petals ovate, about 5 mm. long. Fila- 

 ments numerous, up to 8 mm. in length.

The alliance of this species is apparently with the Javan 

 Eugenia hypericifolia, (Blume) Koord. & Val., from which 

 it is distinguished not only by the shape and apparently less 

 - distinct venation of its leaves, but also by its many-flowered in- 

 florescences and clavate eglandular buds.

A glabrous tree, the branches and branchlets terete, 

 smooth, pale-brownish, or the ultimate branchlets somewhat 

 compressed or sulcate. never angled, about 3 mm. in diameter. 

 Leaves opposite, chartaceous, oblong-elliptic, sessile or sub- 

 sessile. 18 to 20 cm. long, T to 9 cm. wide, epunctate, subequally 

 narrowed upward to the acuminate apex and below to the round- 

 ed and somewhat cordate base, the upper surface olivaceous- 

 browuish, smooth, somewhat shining, the nerves usually slight- 

 ly impressed, the lower surface pale, shining; lateral nerves 

 about 15 on each side of the midrib, very prominent, slightly 

 curved, anastomosing with the equally distinct, nearly straight
