 scattered small dark colored glands on the lower surface, the veins very numerous, 

 obscure, obscurely anastomosing; petioles about 4 mm. long. Panicles terminal and

 slender, nearly 1 cm. long, sessile in umbellate fascicles of 2 to 3 or more flowers 

 each, the calyx proper subglobose, 2 mm. long, 3 mm. in diameter, truncate or

 glabrous. Petals 4, pink or white, suborbicular, about 2 mm. in diameter, free.

9. Eugenia densinervia Merrill, ep, nov. § Byzygium. 



A tree reaching a height of 25 m. Branches glabrous, light brown or grayish, 

 terete, the ultimate branchlets strongly 4-angled. Leaves oblong elliptical to 

 obovate elliptical, the apex broad, rarely obscurely acute, usually more or less 

 narrowed to the acute or cuneate base, coriaceous, glabrous, pale when dry. 

 shining above, 11 to 18 cm. long, 5 to 8 cm. wide, the nerves numerous, close,

 lower surface with numerous scattered obscure glands; petioles stout, 1.5 to 2 cm. 

 long. Inflorescence a terminal cymose panicle 7 cm. long or less, the rhachis and 

 branches stout, somewhat angled, the latter often 5 cm. long, ascending, flower 

 bearing above only, the ultimate branchlets short, stout, each with about 3 flowers. 

 Flowers white, about 1 cm. long. Calyx funnel-shaped, sessile or nearly so, 

 about mm. long, glabrous, obscurely 4-lobed, subtended by 2 or 3 small
