Inflorescences terminal, axillary, and on the branches below the leaves, 

 the peduncles wanting or attaining 4 mm in length, the pedicels entirely 

 wain in»' or very short, rarely in all l cm Long: calyx-tube ranging from 

 obconic to nearly tin-Innate, extending 4-fi nun beyond the ovary, about 



7 nun long, at the base of the lobes 6-7 mm in diameter, the I lobes 

 unequal, -. J -l mm long, 3-6 mm wide at the base, all pounded at the apex : 

 disk thickened; petals 4, 4-t; mm long; stamens probably numerous, the 

 lew seen with filaments only 4-(i mm long and anthers less than 0.5 mm 

 lon<>;; style 12-15 mm long; ovary 2-celled, with several ovules. 



A tree about :.:> m high, its trunk in em in diameter, covered with 

 smooth pinkish-gray bark, the branchlets with -ray bark, more or less 

 angled and somewhat margined: leaves with petioles 2-3 mm Ion-, the 

 lamina ehartaeoous, lanceolate, elliptic-lanceolate, or nariowly elliptic, 

 16-24 cm Ion-, 3-5 cm wide, the base slightly cordate, narrowed at the 

 apes to a slender obtuse acumen; primary lateral veins on each side of 

 the midrib 15-20, frequently with intermediate veins nearly as distinct, 

 the secondary venation only loosely anastomosing, and on the upper 

 surface inconspicuous, a very definite Bubmarginal vein present.

 La nan. (amp Keithley. Mrs. Clemens s. n. The latter specimen is responsible for 

 most of the variation in the inflorescence. The species is far from the one with 

 most strongly angled stems even among Philippine Eugenia*, but the name is 

 used partly in default of a better available one, partly to call attention to its 

 close alliance to /;. seoangulata Miq., from which it is sufficiently distinguished 

 by its inflorescence.
