MYRTACEAE. 
Eugenia rracgregorii C. B. Rob. in Philip. Journ. Sci. 4 (1909) Bot. 307 
When originally described, this species was placed far from its nearest a 1 j 
E. mimica Merr., through an attempt, seemingly vain, to draw a ^.v"''"!? '^ 
between the species with well developed caly.v-lobes and those where the lob^ 
are little developed or wanting. Of these two groups of species, and of L 
,mcgregorn and E. mimica, the same st^t«nent may be made: the ^^^'^'^' ^'^ 
very different, but tliey pass by very easy stages into one another. On^ type 
oiE. macgregorii has noVonly larger flowers with somewhat ^^^^"^ "/^ 
calvx-lobes than that of E. mimica, but the leaves (allowing for '^'J--- - 
length) arc over twice as wide, and the marginal vein is less ""^J"^ ;*- '^ 
jmictions with the laterals. It is moreover a small tree along ;" »t«J ; ■" 
mangrove swamps, typical E. mimica is a low bush, inland^ ^f ' ° '° fl""^

hybrids known to occur in the genus, such collections as ^ '«'«-; f;;.^^;j 
Bataan, and For. Bur. 386 Maule, from Zambales, might .^1 be so considered, 
as they have some characters of the one species, and some of the other. 
Eugenia mindanaensis C. B. Rob. 1. c. 303. 
Having seen this in the fleld, in Mindanao, I may add at the fru^^ 
similar t^ that of E. javanica Blume, which is its close ally, b it that it seem3 
to show eonst.ntlv the characters noted as distinctive from tUat^P ■■ - J^^
