18,3 Merrill: New Philippine Myrtaceae 307 
nervis utrinque circiter 18, tenuibus; infructescentiis termi- 
nalibus, basi ramosis, 3 ad 4.5 em longis, floribus sessilibus, 
calycis urceolatis, circiter 1.5 cm longis, limbo producto 5 ad 
8 mm longo, leviter 4-lobato. 
A small glabrous tree, the branches and branchlets terete, the 
latter 2 to 3 mm in diameter. Leaves sessile, oblong to oblong- 
elliptic, coriaceous, the upper surface strongly shining, the 
lower surface rather dull and minutely punctate, 6 to 10 cm long, 
3 to 5 cm wide, the apex obtuse or broadly and obtusely acu- 
minate, the base broadly rounded and distinctly cordate; lateral 
nerves slender, about 18 on each side of the midrib, straight, 
anastomosing with the equally distinct marginal nerves 1 to 2 
mm from the edge of the leaf. Infructescences terminal, 
branched from the base, 3 to 4.5 cm long, the branches rather 
stout, 4-angled, flowers sessile, the calyx after anthesis urceolate, 
about 1.5 cm long, the throat about 8 mm in diameter, the limb 
produced 5 to 8 mm, shallowly 4-lobed. 
PANAY, Capiz Province, Mount Salibongbong, Bur. Sci. 35630 
Martelino & Edafio, June 19, 1919, in forests at the summit of 
the mountain, altitude about 650 meters. 
A species well characterized by its terete branchlets; its 
sessile, cordate, strongly shining leaves; its terminal inflores- 
cences; and its elongated calyx-tubes. The rim of the calyx-tube 
is extended above the ovary for a distance of from 5 to 8 mm. 
This species does not appear to be closely allied to any pre- 
viously described form, although in some respects an alliance 
with Hugenia ilocana Merr. is indicated.
