13. Eugenia multinervia sp. dot. 



Inflorescentiis cauliiloris, cymosis, floribus mediocris, tetrameris; 



petalis liberis : foliis oblongo-ellipticis, magnis, basi cordatis, apice icu- 

 minatis; venis utrinque 32-35. 



Inflorescences fascicled upon tubercles 1.5 cm long, situated upon the 

 trunk, forming slender branching few-flowered cymes about 8 cm long, 

 their branches and the calyces and less conspicuously the petals glandular ; 

 bracteoles at the base of the flower and at the forks of the inflorescence 

 ovate, acute, 0.7-1 mm long; individual flowers, except sometimes one 

 or more of the three terminal, with pedicels about 1 cm long: calyx-tube 

 in all 13-15 mm long, 7-8 mm in diameter at the base of the lobes, the 

 basal 7-8 mm greatly narrowed into a pseudostalk, the upper portion of 

 the calyx hemispherical; calyx-lobes 4, 4-1.5 mm long, 7-8 mm wide at 

 the base, the apex rounded; petals 1, free, orbicular or broadly ovate, 6-7 

 mm long, 7-8 mm wide, apex rounded; stamens numerous, the filaments 

 7 mm long, the ellipsoid anthers 0.!) mm long; style 6 mm long; ovarv 

 2-celled, many-ovuled. 



Habit unknown: the ultimate branches covered with yellowish-brown 

 annulate bark, 4-angled: leaves with stout petioles 5-7 mm long, the 

 lamina chartaceous, purplish on the upper surface, brown beneath, 27-31 

 em long, 9-11 cm wide, the base distinctly but shallowly cordate, the 

 apex contracted into a comparatively very slender short acumen; primary 

 lateral veins on each side of the midrib 32-35, nearly straight, main 

 submarginal vein about 4-6 mm from the margin, with a faint outer 

 vein, midvein thick and on the under surface strongly projecting.

14. Eugenia copelandii sp. nov. 



Inflorescentiis axillaribus, brevissime pedicellatis et pedunculatis 

 floribus admodum magnis, tetrameris, staminibus numerosis : foliis Longis, 

 lanceolatis, basi cordatis, apice vix acuminata; venis utrinque 18-22, 

 laminae facie utraque conspicuis. 



Flowers borne in very condensed axillary one- to few-flowered cymes, 

 I he peduncles and pedicels not exceeding 2.5 mm, the entire inflorescence 

 to the tip of the style 4.5 cm in length: calyx-tube turbinate, extending 

 6—7 mm beyond the ovary, at anthcsis about 1 cm long, in early fruit 

 1.5 tin long, 2 cm wide at the base of the 4 rounded lobes, which are 

 3-6 mm long and 6-0 mm wide at the base; petals 4, about 8 nun long, 

 ;» nun wide in the middle, somewhat abruptly contracted to a short 

 broad claw at the base; stamens numerous, 2-3 cm long, the anthers 

 about 1.5 mm long; style exceeding 3 cm in length. 



Presumably a tree, the branchlets terete or slightly compressed near 

 the apex, covered with gray or pale bark: leaves with petioles 2-3 mm 

 long, the lamina submembranaceous, lanceolate, 20-32 cm long, 6-8 cm 

 wide, slightly narrowed near the cordate base, gradually narrowed from 

 below the middle to the barely acuminate nearly acute apex: primary
