when dry, the lower surface somewhat paler than the upper and 
distinctly glandular-puncticulate; primary lateral nerves about 
15 on each side of the midrib, slender, scarcely more prominent 
than are the secondary ones and the reticulations, anastomos- 
ing with the slender marginal nerves about 1 mm from the 
edge of the leaf; petioles 1.5 to 2 cm long. Panicles solitary in 
the uppermost axils and fascicled at the tips of the branchlets, 
about 6 cm long, subracemose, the flowers white, sessile or sub- 
sessile in triads at the tips of the ultimate branchlets, form- 
ing a rather dense corymblike inflorescence. Calyx-tube cy- 
lindric, pale when dry, about 12 mm long and 6 mm in diameter, 
gradually narrowed to the base, the lobes 4, shallow, about 4 
mm wide and 1.5 mm long. Calyptra about 6 mm in diameter, 
the petals separable with difficulty, the outer ones broadly ovate, 
the inner obovate. Stamens indefinite; filaments 9 to 15 mm 
long. Style about 15 mm long.

In vegetative characters and general appearance, this species 
closely approximates Eugenia wenzelii Merr., but is totally dif- 
ferent in its floral structure, although the calyx-tubes are similar 
in both. It is distinguished at once by its 4, broad, short calyx- 
teeth and by its very much longer filaments.
