THE GENUS KALOSANTHES. 
The Jabuticuta oe Jabaticarbueas (Eugenia cauliflora) is another, and one of 
the best of the Eose-apples ; it deserves a place amongst fruit-bearers, and may, 
perhaps, by cultivation be rendered a superior fruit. Its treatment is the same as 
J. malaccensis. 
The White Forest Kose- Apple (J. sylvestris alba) is most likely the true 
Schambu of Malacca and Java. It is the Eugenia Jambos and Jambosa vulgaris 
of some authors, and is thought to be a white variety in a wild state. Its fruit is 
said to be much the same in every respect except size (this being a little smaller) 
to that of J. vulgaris. Its treatment in cultivation is also the same. The wood of 
this plant is more esteemed than the fruit ; it grows crooked and knotty, and forms 
excellent ribs for shipping, a use to which it is much appropriated. 
The Laege-leaved Rose- Apple (J. macrophylla) resembles very much in 
appearance the Malay Apple but differs both in its flowers and fruit. It must be 
treated like J. malaccensis. 
The Handsome Rose-Apple (J. formosa) resembles macrophylla : is said to 
bear a good fruit, and to be worth cultivating. It is a very ornamental plant, and 
may be grown like J. malaccensis. 
Several other species are perhaps fully equal to any of the above ; but as we have 
no direct evidence of their respective merits, we can do no more than mention a few 
of their names : — 
The Cayenne Cherry (Eugenia Michelii), the Bastard Guava (Eugenia pseudopsi- 
dium), the Jambon (Jambosa densiflora), the Kupa (Jambosa cauliflora), the 
Kikangar (Jambosa lineata), and the Cogaiteira (Eugenia dysenterica). As most of 
these are already in this country, if the attention of cultivators generally was turned 
towards their treatment as fruit trees, the real value of each might soon be proved. 
THE GENUS KALOSANTHES. 
— 4 — 
This family of beautiful flowers (from kalos, beautiful, and anthos, a flower) is a 
native of the Cape of Good Hope, and belongs to the natural order Crassulaceae. 
Until succulent plants were re-arranged by Haworth Kalosanthes belonged to 
the genus Crassula. They are, however, less succulent in their character, and, in 
a decorative point of view, of considerably more value to the culturist. Within the 
last four or five years, they have been brought very prominently into notice at the 
J uly Metropolitan Exhibitions, and now they are very extensively cultivated by the 
leading gardeners of the country, both for exhibition and decorative purposes. As 
flower-garden plants, too, they are of considerable value, blooming at a season when the 
aristocracy return to their country seats in the autumn ; being, when well-grown and 
properly grouped, remarkably gorgeous in appearance ; and, what is of equal conse-
