with longer filaments than the five alternate with the lobes, all 
inserted with the scales, not below them, the scales 10, oblong, 
ciliate, alternating with the filaments, about 1 mm long. Ovary 
ovoid, 2-celled, slightly pubescent; style 1 mm long. Capsule 
narrowly obovoid, 2-valved, more or less compressed, 1.2 to 1.5

Ramos, March, 1909, distributed as G. cumingiana Decne. 
A species in vegetative characters closely resembling Gyrinopsis cuming- 
iana Decne., but with entirely different flowers. In floral characters it 
approaches the genus Aquilariay and appears to be more or less inter- 
mediate between Gyrinopsis and AquilaHa, In consideration of its axillary 
inflorescence, and in its having 10 scales at the throat instead of five, I 
have referred it to the former genus. In structure the flower appears to 
differ a little from both genera cited above in that the stamens are insei'ted 
with and alternate with the scales, not below them.

EUGENIA L. 
EUGENIA CAMIGUINENSIS sp. nov. § Syzygium. 
Species E, densinerviae Merr, simillima et valde affinis, differt 
foliis minoribus, floribus brevioribus. 
A glabrous tree about 8 m high, the branches terete, light-gray, 
the ultimate ones 3 to 4 mm thick. Leaves elliptic to eUiptic- 
obovate, thickly coriaceous, 8 to 11 cm long, 5 to 7 cm wide, some- 
what shining when dry, the lower surface glandular-punctate, 
a little paler than the upper one, the apex broad, rounded or very 
broadly and obtusely acuminate, the base acute; nerves dense, 
slender, indistinct, parallel, 25 to 30 on each side of the midrib, 
anastomosing into a very obscure submarginal nerve; petioles 
stout, 5 to 7 mm long. Inflorescence terminal, corymbose, many 
flowered, peduncled, or branched from the base, the branches 
trichotomous, the whole inflorescence up to 8 cm long, 7 to 13 
cm in diameter. Ultimate branchlets short, densely arranged, 
the flowers in threes, subsessile, each subtended by a pair 
of ovate, concave, stiff, rounded bracteoles 1.5 mm long, the 
bracts similar, a little larger. Buds 6 to 7 mm long, narrowly 
obovoid to broadly club-shaped. Calyx about 5 mm long, 3 mm 
wide at the apex, obscurely 4-toothed. Petals calyptrate.
