united, forming a calyptra about 3 mm in diameter which falls 
as a whole; filaments very short. 
LEYTE, Buenavista, near Jaro, C. A. Wenzel 770, May 28, 1914, in forests, 
altitude about 500 meters. 
A very large tree, its height indicated by Mr. Wenzel as 60 meters, the 
trunk 2 meters in diameter. Its alliance is with Eugenia claviflora Roxb., 
E. rosenbluthti C. B. Rob., etc., but it is well characterized by its elongated 
flowers, the pseudo-stalk in anthesis narrow, abruptly enlarged at the apex 
by the spreading calyx-limb, in young fruit thickened, and gradually 
tapering to the acute base. 
EUGENIA PUNCTICULATA sp. nov. § Jambosa. 
Arbor glabra, 10 ad 15 m alta; foliis coriaceis, oppositis, 
oblongis, usque ad 22 cm longis, subtus valde puncticulatis, 
acuminatis, basi acutis, nervis prominentis, utrinque circiter 
12, irregularibus, prominente arcuato-anastomosantibus; panicu- 
lis terminalibus axillaribusque, pyramidatis, paucifloris, circiter 
10 cm longis; floribus in anthesis circiter 7 cm diametro, petalis 
obovatis, circiter 1.3 cm longis. 
A glabrous tree 10 to 15 m high, the branches terete, light- 
gray or somewhat brownish, slender. Leaves opposite, oblong, 
coriaceous, slightly shining when dry, the lower surface a little 
paler than the upper and prominently puncticulate, 13 to 22 
cm long, 5 to 8 cm wide, the base acute, the apex rather pro- 
minently acuminate; lateral nerves about 12 on each side of 
the midrib, rather irregular, very prominent on the lower sur- 
face, some of the secondary ones nearly as prominent as the 
primary ones, arched-anastomosing and forming an irregular, 
submarginal nerve about 5 mm from the margin of the leaf, 
the reticulations slender, rather distinct; petioles about 1.5 cm 
long. Panicles terminal, rarely also lateral, pyramidal, open, 
comparatively few-flowered, about 10 cm long, the ultimate 
branchlets with from one to three flowers each, the pedicels 
mostly less than 1 cm long. Calyx in bud obovoid, about 1.5 
cm long, narrowed below into a short pseudostalk, ebracteolate, 
jointed with the pedicels, the lobes 4, concave, coriaceous, reni- 
form or orbicular-reniform, in anthesis spreading, about 1 cm 
wide. Petals white, obovoid, about 1.3 em long. Stamens very 
numerous, the filaments 3 to 4 cm in length. 
LEYTE, Dagami, C. A. Wenzel 884 (type), 369, August, 1913, in forests, 
altitude about 60 meters. 
Among the numerous Philippine species apparently most closely allied to 
Eugenia lutea C. B. Rob., but differing from that species in many char- 
acters. Its prominently puncticulate leaves is an evident differential 
character.
