 3. EUGENIA Linn. 



1. E. acuminatissima (Illume) Kurz. ; Duthie in Hook. f. Fl. Brit. lnd. 2 

 (1878) 483. E. cuminyiana Vidal, Phan. Cuming. Philip. (1886) 17:5, non E. 

 cumingii Hook, et Arn. § Syzygivtn. 



(811, 2385 Borden) June, January; (2406, 2628, 2801, 2807, 3004 Meyer) 

 January, May; (1198, 1228 Whitford) March, April. In forests 600 to 1.000 in., 

 widely distributed in the Philippines. Malayan Peninsula and Archipelago. 



Vidal's name for this species is invalid, but at any rate the Philippine form 

 referred by him to Eugenia oumingiana is apparently identical with E. acum- 

 inatissima Kurz. A cotype of Vidal'a species (925 Cuming) is in our herbarium. 



E. acuminatissima (Illume) Kurz, var. parva Merrill, var. now 



Similar to the species but with much less acuminate reduced leaves ,'l to cm. 

 long, 0.8 to 1.5 cm. wide. 



(1136, 1218 Whitford) April, March; also No. 801 Cuming, Philippines, 

 18:10-40, without locality. On exposed ridges in the mossy forests at about 

 1,000 m., apparently only a reduced form of the species due to habitat. 



2. Eugenia arcuatinervia Merrill, sp. nov. § Jamboaa. 



.A tree reaching a height of 20 m. Branches light gray or brownish, glabrous, 

 terete. Leaves ovate lanceolate, glabrous, subcoriaceous, rather prominently 

 acuminate, the acumen slender, blunt, base acute, 12 to 14 cm. long, 4.5 to 

 5.5 cm. wide; primary nerves about 10 on each side of the midrib, rather prom- 

 inent beneath, spreading, anastomosing and forming an arched intramarginal 

 nerve, :i to 5 mm. from the margin of the leaf as prominent as the primary 

 nerves, and a secondary marginal nerve as prominent as the lax reticulations; 

 petioles 1.5 cm. long, channeled above, the lamina slightly narrowly decurrent. 

 Inflorescence of narrow few flowered terminal and axillary racemose panicles 

 8 cm. long or less, the peduncles glabrous, often slightly angled, 3 to 5 cm. long. 

 Flowers solitary or in pairs, white, fragrant, 1.5 cm. long including the stamens, 

 the buds globose or obovoid. Calyx cup-shaped, narrowed to the 2 or .'1 mm. 

 long pedicel, obscurely 4-lobed, 5 to mm. in diameter at the mouth. Petals 4, 

 free, suhorbicular-reniforin, 4 mm. long, 4 to mm. wide, glandular-punctate. 

 Stamens indefinite; filaments 7 to 8 mm. long; anthers 0.0 mm. long. 

 (2598 Meyer) February, 11105. In forests at about 000 m.

 is impossible at this time.

A tree 15 to 20 m. high. Branches slender, terete, grayish or light brown.
