CALYCIFLORjE. 
If A B. Near the Moneague. Dr. Alexander. 
F L. February. 
A shrub : branches spreading, of a ferruginous colour, 
glabrous, slightly rough from minute asperities. Leaves 
about an inch and a half long, and rather more than an 
inch broad, subacute at the base, rounded and usually 
emarginate at the apex : petioles about 2 lines in length. 
Peduncle an inch in length, minutely appresso-puberulous. 
Bracteoles early deciduous. Calyx persistent, 4-lobed 
with the lobes* rounded. 
5. Eugenia rotundifolia. Round-leaved Eu- 
genia. 
Peduncles axillary 1-2-flowered of nearly the 
same length as the leaf solitary, leaves rounded 
subsessile crenulated with the crenatures rather 
obscure coriaceous glabrous minutely punctul- 
ated especially beneath. 
II A B. St. Ann’s. Mr. Pur die. 
F L. 
A shrub, with branches ferruginous, glabrous. Leaf 
about an inch in diameter. Peduncle about an inch in 
length, compressed, bearing 1-2 very shortly-pedicelled 
flowers. Calyx 4-fid, persistent, rounded. Berry 1- 
celled, 1-seeded. 
This plant resembles the eugenia crenulata of Swartz, 
a native of Hayti. It differs however in the peduncle 
being scarcely longer than the petiole, whereas in the 
Jamaica plant it is of the length of the leaf. With this ex- 
ception the descriptions agree. 
# * Flowers axillary subsessile, or fasciculato- 
glomerated in the axils, and shortly pedun- 
cle d. 
6. Eugenia disticha. Distichal Eugenia. 
Peduncles axillary branched 3-5 flowered very 
short, leaves distichal ovatc-lanceolate acute gla- 
brous, lateral nerves confluent within the margin, 
calycine lobes 4, stigma uncinate. — DC.
