Fl. Ind. Bat. I 1 (1855) 522, in reducing Jambosa melastomi folia 

 Blume to Jambosa bifaria Wight. 



EUGENIA sp. 



Arbor rubra I Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3:. 74, t. 47. 



This is a sufficiently characteristic species of Eugenia of 

 the section Syzygium; it is, however, not represented in our Am- 

 boina collections. No botanist has suggested its determination 

 beyond the genus. Lamarck reduced it to Eugenia sp., and 

 Teysmann expressed the opinion that it is, with doubt, a Jam- 

 bosa. The figure looks suspiciously like Eucalyptus deglupta 

 Blume (see p. 401), but although the bark is described as 

 peeling off in thin flakes, a character found in many species of 

 Eugenia, the description of the fruits and of the odor and taste 

 of the leaves definitely removes it from Eucalyptus. 



EUGENIA sp. 



Arbor rubra I angustifolia Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 75, t. 48. 



This is a characteristic species of Eugenia of the section 

 Jambosa, not represented in our Amboina collections. No sug- 

 gestions have been made by other botanists as to its possible or 

 probable identity. In the absence of material for comparison 

 with the various named species from the Moluccas, no suggestion 

 can be made as to its proper disposition. 



EUGENIA sp. 



Folium intinctus Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 202. 



Loureiro, Fl. Cochin. (1790) 231, mentions this under Jam- 

 bolifera odorata Lour. (=Acronychia?) , with which it has 

 nothing in common. Henschel, Vita Rumph. (1833) 160, places 

 it, with doubt, under Cyminosma odorata DC, which is merely a 

 new name for Jambolifera odorata Lour. Rumphius's descrip- 

 tion conforms in all respects to Eugenia and probably refers 

 to some species of this genus. 



EUGENIA sp. 



Arbor rubra II saxatilis Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 76. 



Further determination of this form is impossible from the data 

 and material at present available. 



EUGENIA sp. 



Arbor rubra IV Rumph. Herb. Amb. 3: 77. 



The form described is probably a Eugenia, but its exact 

 status is indeterminable from data at present available.
