about 950 meters. 
In foliage characters this species closely resembles Eugenia 
speciosissima C. B. Rob., from which it is easily distinguished 
by its sharply 4-angled branchlets and its terminal flowers. 
EUGENIA SURIGAENSIS sp. nov. § Jambosa. 
Frutex glaber, ramis ramulisque teretibus; foliis coriaceis, 
oblongis ad oblongo-lanceolatis, basi late acutis ad rotundatis, 
sursum angustatis et leviter acuminatis, haud punctatis, ner- 
vis utrinque circiter 10, perspicuis; petiolo 2 ad 4 mm longo; 
floribus e ramis defoliatis, solitariis, vel pedunculis 3-floris, ca- 
lycis tubo turbinato, circiter 1.5 em longo et usque ad 2 cm 
diametro. 
A glabrous shrub, the branches terete, grayish, rather rough, 
the branchlets pale brown, smooth, the ultimate ones 2 mm in 
diameter or less. Leaves coriaceous, oblong to oblong-lanceo- 
late, the base broadly acute to rounded, narrowed upward 
to the somewhat acuminate apex, brownish or olivaceous when 
dry, the lower surface paler than the upper and scarcely punc- 
tate; lateral nerves about 10 on each side of the midrib, promi- 
nent, anastomosing, the reticulations lax; petioles very stout, 
2 to 4 mm long. Flowers white, from the branches below the 
leaves, solitary or 3-flowered peduncles, the peduncles 1.5 
to 2.5 cm long, the pedicels about 1.5 cm long. Calyx-tube tur- 
binate, brown when dry; about 1.5 cm long, 1.5 to 2 cm in 
diameter, shallowly 4-lobed. Petals suborbicular, 1.5 mm in 
diameter. Fruit cup-shaped, 2.5 cm long and wide.

Pascasio, June 14, 1919, along streams at low altitudes at the 
iron deposit on the northeast coast. 
The alliance of this species is manifestly with Eugenia me- 
galantha C. B. Rob. of Palawan, from which it differs in its 
fewer-nerved leaves which are not glandular-punctate and be- 
neath, and in its shorter, very stout petioles. In Hugenia me- 
galantha the leaves are subequally narrowed to both ends, but 
in the present species they are wider below the middle and are 
gradually narrowed upward. 
EUGENIA TULA sp. nov § Jambosa. 
Arbor glabra, ramulis teretibus; foliis subcoriaceis, oblongo- 
ellipticis ad elliptico-obovatis, utrinque concoloribus, 8 ad 11 cm
