39. Eugenia leptogyna sp. nov. 



Inflorcscentiis terminal ibus vcl subterminalibus, cymosis, floribus pecli- 

 cellal is vcl rarius sessilis; calycis tubo angusto, medio vol supra medium 

 sensim incrassato, sub apice iterum angustato, apice late divaricato, lobis 

 4, rotundatis; petalis 4, liberis; disco evoluto; staminibus numerosis; 

 foliis chartaceis, oblongo-lanceolatis vel lanceolatis, basi acutis, apice 

 acuminatis; venis utrinque 15-18. 



Inflorescences terminal or subterminal, cymose, 5-9 em long, 1-11- 

 flowered, the individual flowers on pedicels 5-12 mm long, or sessile; 

 calyx-tube 15-21 mm long, at the base 1 mm or slightly more in diameter, 

 in the middle or above the middle swollen to 2.5 mm, below the apex 

 again contracted to 2 mm, near the apex widely spreading and about 8 

 mm at the base of the lobes; lobes 4, widely rounded, 3.5-5 mm long, 

 6-8 mm wide; petals 4, white, orbicular-ovate to oval, 8-10 mm in 

 diameter; disk present; stamens numerous, the filaments about 2 cm long, 

 the anthers nearly 1 mm long; style 3-3.5 cm long, persistent; ovary 

 within the swollen portion of the calyx-tube, 2-celled. 



A tree 25 m high, its trunk 32 cm in diameter, the somewhat slender 

 branchlets covered with gray or brownish bark; leaves with petioles 6-10 

 mm long, tbc lamina chartaceous, oblong-lanceolate or lanceolate, rarely 

 oblong, 8-10 cm long, 2-5 cm wide, tbc base acute, the apex contracted 

 into a somewhat slender obtuse acumen ; primary lateral veins on each side 

 of the midrib 15-18, forming a definite submarginal vein and one or two 

 fainter ones between it and tbc margin. 



Mindobo, south of Lake Naujan, in hill forests at 50 m elevation, For. Bur. 

 68S9 Merritt. Very remarkable among Philippines species for its very slender 

 calyx-tubo. 



The flowers are noted as very fragrant. 



Very closely related to E. cylindrica Wight. The figure of the hitter in the 

 Icones pi. 528 may well stand for the present species except for the venation 

 of the leaves, which is distinctly different, and said by Duthie ,0 to be very 

 characteristic of the Indian species. I can not reconcile his description of the 

 venation with the figure, and our species differs from both, there being two 

 submarginal veins, not at all unusual in the genus, but the inner is very much 

 nearer the margin than halfway. 



40. Eugenia sulcistyla sp. nov. 



Inflorescentiis terminalibus cymosis, alabastris ellipsoideis : calycis lobis 

 4, rotundatis, stylis longitudinalitcr sulcatis: foliis ellipticis, anguste 

 ellipticis, oblanceolatis, vel oval ibus, basi acutis, apice acuminatis, venis 

 utrinque 15-20. 



( 'ymes terminal, in late bud nearly 5 cm long, few-flowered, the pedicels 

 3.5-13 mm long, with a pair of small inconspicuous bracteoles at tbc 

 articulation with the flower: calyx-tube brown, 17 mm long, 7-8 mm 

 wide at the base of the lobes, with them nearly ellipsoid in outline, 



10 Fl. Br. Ind. 2 (1878) 480.
