2.5 to 4 cm wide, the apex long and slenderly caudate-acuminate, 
the acumen usually curved, base long decurrent-acuminate, the 
margins prominently revolute, the lower surface obscurely gland- 
ular; lateral nerves about 15 on each side of the midrib, slender 
but rather distinct, anastomosing directly with the marginal 
vein about 2 mm from the edge of the leaf; petioles 1 to 1.5 cm 
long. Inflorescences terminal and in the upper axils, peduncled, 
corymbose, the rachis and branches angled or compressed, stout, 
the ultimate branchlets 5 mm long or less, each bearing usually 
three sessile flowers, the bracteoles inconspicuous. Flowers 
white. Calyces about 6 mm long, narrowed below, sometimes 
forming a short pseudostalk, the limb about 4.5 mm in diame- 
ter, very obscurely 4-lobed, in age more or less irregularly erose. 
Petals free, orbicular, about 3 mm in diameter, deciduous, strong: 
ly imbricate in bud. Stamens numerous, their filaments up to 7 
mm in length. Fruit purple, ellipsoid or ovoid, about 6 mm 
long (immature).

This species is manifestly closely allied to Eugenia robinso- 
niana Elm., but among other characters is readily distinguished 
by its thicker leaves, which are uniformly pale and not at all 
brownish-purple when dry; its much stouter, angled or com- 
pressed inflorescene branches; and its strongly revolute leaf- 
margins. 
EUGENIA SARCOCARPA sp. nov. § Jambosa. 
Arbor glabra, ramulis circiter 5 mm diametro, distincte 4-

A glabrous tree, about 8 m high, the branches terete, grayish, 
the ultimate branchlets about 5 mm in diameter, distinctly 4- 
angled. Leaves opposite, coriaceous, oblong-elliptic, 16 to 22 
em long, 7 to 10 cm wide, somewhat narrowed below to the 
usually slightly inequilateral, rounded, or often somewhat cor- 
date base, the apex acute or shortly acuminate, the upper sur-
