34 SPECIES OF EUGENIA, SCHEFFLEKA/AND SAUEAUIA. 



obtuse, the upper surface entirely glabrous, pale-olivaceous, 

 shining, the lower rather prominently curved-setose on the 

 midrib and lateral nerves and otherwise somewhat hirsute, the 

 margins spinulose, the slender teeth appressed or incurved; 

 lateral nerves 15 to 20 on each side of the midrib, prominent, 

 curved, the reticulations distinct, subparallel; petioles 1.5 to 4 

 cm. long, when young rather densely curved-setose like the 

 branehlets, in age glabrous or nearly so. Flowers fascicled, 

 axillary and on the older branches below the leaves, few to as 

 many as 15 in a fascicle, the slender pedicels up to 12 

 mm. in length, ferruginous-hirsute. Sepals elliptic-oblong to 

 ovate, acute, about 4 mm. long, externally slightlv hirsute. 

 Corolla-lobes oblong, obtuse or rounded, equilateral, about 4 

 mm. long and 2 mm. wide. Stamens about 20, the anthers 

 2.5 to 3 mm. long. Ovary glabrous. Styles 3. tomentose. 

 about 3 mm. long, united for the lower 1 mm. 



'Sarawak, Lundu, Ridley 12J+59 (type), September, 



(1891: ?) Matang, IlidUtt, s.n , Ridley 12269, August, 1893. 



This species is well characterized by its rather densely 

 ineurved-setose branehlets and petioles, the midrib and lateral 

 nerves on the lower surface of the leaves with similar setae, 

 and its fascicled, slenderly pedicel led flowers with glabrous 

 ovaries and tomentose styles.

A shrub or small tree, glabrous or nearly so except- the 

 very young parts and the inflorescences. Branches terete, 

 dark reddish-brown, glabrous, the branehlets with few, closely 

 appressed, short, thick scales. Leaves chartaceous, oblong to 

 oblong-ovate, 14 to 25 cm. long, 6 to 10 cm. wide, narrowed 

 upward to the slenderly and acutely acuminate apex, the acu- 

 men sometimes subcaudate and up to 2.5 cm. long, the base 

 acute to subobtuse or broadened as to be almost rounded, the 

 margins with small, closely appressed, short, thickened, sharp
