18,3 Merrill: New Philippine Myrtaceae 305 
This very characteristic species probably belongs in the group 
with Eugenia zeylanica Wight. It is conspicuously characterized 
by its nearly sessile, broadly rounded, and distinctly cordate 
leaves, which are gradually narrowed upward from near the base 
to the slenderly acuminate apex, the leaves varying in outline 
from ovate to lanceolate. It is totally different from all the other 
known Philippine species of this very large genus. 
EUGENIA CAPIZENSIS sp. nov. 
Arbor glabra, circiter 10 m alta, ramulis teretibus, circiter 3 
mm diametro; foliis subcoriaceis, nitidis, vix punctatis, oblongis, 
18 ad 34 em longis, basi rotundatis et leviter cordatis, apice 
acutis vel leviter acuminatis, nervis utrinque circiter 25, valde 
perspicuis; petiolo circiter 5 mm longo; infructescentiis longi- 
pedunculatis partibus floriferis 5 ad 6 cm longis, ramis inferiori- 
bus usque ad 8 em longis; calycis urceolatis, 1 ad 1.5 cm longis, 
circiter 7 mm diametro, truncatis, limbo valde producto. 
A tree about 10 m high, the branches terete, the ultimate 
ones somewhat compresséd, grayish or reddish brown, about 3 
mm in diameter. Leaves subcoriaceous, shining, scarcely punc- 
tate, oblong, 18 to 34 cm long, 7.5 to 11 em wide, the base 
rounded and slightly cordate, the apex acute to somewhat acu- 
minate; lateral nerves about 25 on each side of the midrib, 
prominent, straight, anastomosing with the equally prominent 
marginal nerves 4 to 6 mm from the edge of the leaf. Petioles 
stout, about 5 mm long. Infructescences long-peduncled, the 
peduncles up to 18 cm in length, the flower-bearing portions 5 to 
6 cm long and wide, the lower branches up to 3 cm in length. 
Calyx after anthesis urceolate, 1 to 1.5 cm long, about 7 mm in 
diameter, truncate, the limb extended 5 to 7 mm above the ovary.

The alliance of this species is apparently with Eugenia urda- 
netensis Elm. and E. caudatifolia Merr. It differs from the 
former in its much larger leaves and flowers and its elongated 
peduncles, and from the latter in its less-acuminate, fewer- 
nerved leaves and apparently larger flowers.
