18, 3 Merrill: New Philippine Myrtaceae 291 
In the section Eueugenia this species is well characterized 
among the Philippine forms by its sessile, glomerate flowers. 
The wood is fine-grained and hard, as in other species of the 
genus. The species is dedicated to Dr. C. S. Sargent, director 
of the Arnold Arboretum. 
EUGENIA ELLIPTIFOLIA sp. nov. § Jambosa. 
Arbor glabra, ramis ramulisque teretibus; foliis oppositis, 
_ coriaceis, nitidis, ellipticis, breviter petiolatis, usque ad 11 cm 
Iongis, apice late rotundatis, basi acutis, subtus punctatis, 
nervis primariis utrinque circiter 10, distinctis, anastomosan- 
tibus, reticulis vix perspicuis; inflorescentiis terminalibus axilla- 
ribusque, pedunculatis, 2- vel 3-floris; floribus breviter pedicel- 
latis, bibracteolatis, calycis tubo infundibuliforme, circiter 8 
mm longo, lobis distinctis, reniformibus. 
A glabrous tree, the branches rather stout, the branchlets 
pale-brownish, smooth, terete, the ultimate ones about 3 mm in 
diameter. Leaves opposite, coriaceous, pale-olivaceous, shining, 
elliptic, 9 to 11 cm long, 5.5 to 7 cm wide, base acute, apex 
broadly rounded, smooth, the lower surface rather obscurely 
punctate; primary lateral nerves about 10 on each side of 
the midrib, distinct, somewhat curved, anastomosing directly 
with the subequally distinct, straight or slightly arcuate 
marginal nerves 2 to 3 mm from the edge of the leaf, the . 
reticulations not prominent; petioles stout, 5 mm long or less. 
Inflorescences terminal and axillary, 2 to 5 cm long, peduncled, 
2- or 3-flowered, or sometimes the terminal inflorescences 
branched from the base, the branches 1-flowered. Calyx-tube 
funnel-shaped, terete, smooth, blackish-brown when dry, shining, 
about 8 mm long and wide, the lobes 4, reniform, the pedicels 
5 mm long or less.

1917, in primary forests at medium altitudes. 
This species is probably as closely allied to Eugenia calubcob 
C. B. Rob. as to any other described form; it is well characterized 
by its elliptic leaves which are rounded at the apex and acute at 
the base. 
EUGENIA ILOCANA sp. nov. § Jambosa.

tiolatis, oblongis, apice obtusis ad rotundatis, basi obtusis, in 
siccitate pallidis, nitidis, crassé coriaceis, usque ad 7.5 cm longis,
