5. Eugenia singampattiana Beddome (1874: 65 View in CoL , t. 273).
Lectotype (designated here):— INDIA. Tinnevelly hills, Beddome 2958 (BM! [barcode BM000944115 ]). Remaining syntype:— Beddome 2959 (BM! [barcode BM000944116 ]).
Distribution:— India [ Kerala, Tamil Nadu].
Notes:—In the protologue, Beddome gave the locality as “Singampatty hills (Tinnevelly ghats) at 3000 ft. ” The sheet at BM labelled as coming from ‘Herb. Col. R.H. Beddome’, comprises two collections ( syntypes), numbered 2958 and 2959. The first consists of three pieces (one sterile and two with terminal flowers) and the second of a single piece with smaller leaves and subterminal flowers. We have selected the first syntype as lectotype because the three components collectively approach Beddome’s plate 273, which shows a stem branching into two flowering shoots.
