acuminate, with rounded base, sessile, pinnately thin-veined, oil-dots much con- 
cealed. Flowers small, from 2 to 4 together between terminal leaves ; peduncles 
none ; united pedicels and flower-buds club-shaped ; calyx passing gradually into 
the twice-longer pedicel, punctular-scabrous. Petals 1^ line, at first coalescent 
into a hemispheric lid, but some finally expanding. Stamens much longer than 
the petals, some 4 lines long ; anthers roundish when open ; style elongated ; 
ovary sunk deeply. Fruit reddish. — F. v. M. l.c.

30. E. hedraiophylla (leaves sessile), F. v. M. Viet. Xat. April 1892. 
Stature not recorded. Branchlets glabrous and prominently quadrangular. 
Leaves rather large, chartaceous, elliptic-lanceolate, gradually acuminated, with 
rounded base, almost sessile, veins faint, pinnace and immersed, oil-dots copious 
but not conspicuous. Flowers small in ample bracliiate panicles ; peduncles 
from decurrent prominences, very quadrangular ; flowers frequently ternate on 
the ultimate peduncles ; pedicels extremely short or obliterated ; calyx hemispheric- 
turbinate, slightly lobed or almost truncate. Petals hardly expanding. Anthers 
very minute, about as long as broad. Style capillary, thin ; ovary much sunk. 
Fruit quite small, almost globular, one-seeded, terminated by a comparatively 
broad limb of thin structure, and separated from it by some constriction ; pericarp 
very thin. — F. v. M. l.c.

31. E. cryptophlebia (teins obscure), F. r. M. Fragm. ix. 144. A tree of 
about 50ft., resembling an Elceodendron, branchlets nearly terete. Leaves oblong- 
lanceolate, thin coriaceous or thickish chartaceous, opaque, veins immersed, 
lateral ones distant, 2 to 4in. long, 8 to 16 lines broad, glaucous-green, the young 
growth almost scarlet. Peduncles bearing cymes or racemes about as long as the 
leaves. Flowers sessile, usually in threes. Calyx clavate-ovate, about 3 lines 
long. Petals 4 ; anthers roundly ovate, obtuse.

32. E. Dallachiana (after J. Dallachy), F. v. M. Herb.; Eenth. FI. Austr. iii. 
287. A tree of 20ft. Leaves broadly ovate, 3 to Sin. long, of a thinner consistence 
than in most Eugenias, and the one or two lower pairs of veins more prominent than 
the others and continued almost to the apex of the leaf, so as to make it appear 
almost triplinerved ,or quintuplinerved like some Ehodowgrti. Cymes axillary, 
pedunculate, rather loose, and apparently only few-flowered, but the specimens 
seen are only in young fruit. Calyx-tube in that state nearly globular, about 
3 lines diameter, not produced above the ovary; lobes 4, broad, spreading, 
unequal, all shorter than the tube. Petals white, slightly silky. Stamens 
scarcely 2 lines long ; anthers ovate-rotund. Ovary 2-celled, with rather 
numerous ovules in each cell, but only one or two from the same cell enlarged. 
Fruit only known in a young state. 
Hab.: Rockingham Bay, Dallachy. 
The aspect of this plant is very different from that of any Eugenia known to me, yet, as far as 
the specimens go, they supply no character to separate it from the genus. — Benth.

(After the Hon. D. Barrington.) 
(Stravadium, Juss.) 
Calyx-tube ovoid or turbinate, not at all or scarcely produced above the ovary, 
the limb either closed in the bud and splitting into 2 to 4 valvate segments or 
rarely with 3 or 4 lobes, imbricate in the bud. Petals 4 or 5, adhering at the 
base to the staminal cup. Stamens numerous, in several series, shortly united
