Euclea myrtina, Burchell. 



South Africa. Beriy small, black, but edible. To us this 

 plant would hardly be more than an ornamental bush. 



Euclea undulata, Thunberg. 



South Africa. Berry small, red, edible. Other shrubby 

 species from the same portion of the globe yield also esculent 

 fruits, which under superior culture may vastly improve. 



Eucryphia cordifolia, Cavanilles. 



The Muermo or XJlmo of Chili. This magnificent evergreen 

 tree attains a height of over 100 feet, producing a stem of 

 sometimes 6 feet in diameter. The flowers are much sought 

 by bees. For oars and rudders the wood is preferred in Chili 

 to any other (Dr. Philippi). We possess congeneric trees in 

 Tasmania (E. Billardieri) and in New South Wales (E. 

 Moorei). 



Eugenia cordifolia, Wight. 



Ceylon, up to 3000 feet high. Fruit of one inch diameter.

Ceylon, up to 7000 feet elevation. Fruit of the size of a 

 small cherry (Dr. Thwaites). 



Eugenia Malaccensis, Linn6. 



The large Bose- Apple. India. Although strictly a tropical 

 tree, it has been admitted into this list as likely adapted for 

 our warmer forest-regions. The leaves are often a foot long. 

 The large fruits of rosy odour are wholesome and of 

 agreeable taste. E, Jambos, L., also from India, produces 

 likewise excellent fruit.

 a table-fruit.
