MYRTACEAE 



397 



EUGENIA STIPULARIS (Blume) Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. 1 1 (1855) 441. 



Gelpkea stipularis Blume Mus. Bot. 1 (1849) 88. 



Jambosa silvestris ayer utan Rumph. Herb. Amb. 1: 129. 

 Amboina, Lateri, Robinson PL Rumph. Amb. 191, August 25, 1913, in 

 forests, altitude about 200 meters, locally known as jambu utan and kayu 

 jambu jambu. 



Hamilton, Mem. Wern. Soc. 5 2 (1826) 338, placed this under 

 Eugenia laeta Ham., the description of which, however, was 

 based on an Indian specimen. Blume, Mus. Bot. 1 (1849) 104, 

 followed Hamilton in this reduction of Jambosa silvestris ayer 

 utan and cites Jambosa linearis Korth. as a synonym. The 

 description given by Rumphius certainly does not apply to Euge- 

 nia laeta Ham. nor to Jambosa linearis Korth., but does apply 

 fairly closely to Eugenia stipularis Miq., the type of which was 

 from Amboina. 



EUGENIA CELEBICA (Blume) comb. nov. 



Jambosa celebica Blume Mus. Bot. 1 (1849) 107. 

 Jambosa silvestris s. biawas Rumph. Herb. Amb. 1: 128? 



The reduction of this Celebes form, very imperfectly described 

 by Rumphius, merely follows Blume's suggestion. It may or 

 may not be the correct disposition of it, although the form 

 that Rumphius described is certainly a Eugenia of the section 

 Jambosa. 



EUGENIA JAM BOS Linn. Sp. PI. (1753) 470. 



Jambosa vulgaris DC. Prodr. 3 (1828) 286. 

 Jambosa rosacea Rumph. Herb. Amb. 1 : 123. 



The description certainly applies to the rose apple, Eugenia 

 jambos Linn. (Jambosa vulgaris DC), where Jambosa rosacea 

 Rumph. has been referred by Henschel, Blume, DeVriese, Miquel, 

 and Hasskarl. 



EUGENIA sp. aff. jambos Linn.? 



Jambosa (sylvestris) alba Blume Mus. Bot. 1 (1849) 94, non Don, nec 



Eugenia alba Roxb. 

 Jambosa silvestris alba Rumph. Herb. Amb. 1: 127, t. 39. 



Rumphius's figure represents a characteristic species, and 

 when once collected in Amobina botanical material should 

 be readily connected with it. Jambosa silvestris alba Rumph. 

 was originally reduced by Linnaeus to Eugenia jambos Linn., 

 in Stickman Herb. Amb. (1754) 7, Amoen. Acad. 4 (1759) 119, 

 Syst. ed. 10 (1759) 1055, Sp. PL ed. 2 (1762) 672; and in this 

 manifestly erroneous reduction he was followed by Burman f., 

 Lamarck, Willdenow, Loureiro, Roxburgh, and Persoon. Wight
