44. Eugenia triphylla sp. hot. 



Inflorescentiis axillaribus, brevissimis, trifloris : floribus magnis, tetra- 

 meris; foliis brevissime petiolatis, lanceolatis, anguste ellipticis, vel ob- 

 lanceolatis, basi acutis, decurrentibus, apice obtuse vel saepius subacute 

 acuminatis, venis utrinquc 15-20. 



Inflorescence axillary, the peduncles 2 mm long, pedicels none or coal- 

 esced with the peduncle; calyx-tube campanulate, 1.3 cm long, 2 cm wide 

 at the base of the lobes; calyx-lobes 4, 3-6 mm long, about 1 cm wide; 

 petals 4, pink, nearly orbicular, slightly exceeding 1 cm in diameter; 

 stamens very numerous, the white filaments attaining a length of 2.5 cm, 

 the anthers about 0.8 mm long; style nearly 4 cm long. 



A tree 10 m high, the branchlets covered with gray or yellowish bark, 

 below, terete, near the apices more or less angled; leaves in threes, with 

 petioles 0.5-2 mm long, lamina subcoriaceous, lanceolate, narrowly ellip- 

 tic, or oblanceolate, 4-9 cm long, 1-2.5 cm wide, the base acute, sometimes 

 spatulate, decurrent, the apex acuminate, sometimes obtusely, more often 

 subacutely; primary lateral veins on each side of the midrib 15-20, not 

 very prominent, forming a somewhat faint but definite vein close to the 

 involute margins. 



Basilan, banks of Basilan River, at 150 m elevation, For. Bur. 3911 Hutch- 

 inson. 



Very similar to E. xanthophylla , but apparently distinguished not only by the 

 number of the leaves, but also by having somewhat larger flowers without pedicels, 

 and by the venation of the leaves. 



Local name, Tubaltubal. 



45. Eugenia everettii sp. nov. 



Floribus terminalibus, solitariis vel paucis, tetrameris, magnis; sepalis 

 valde inaequalibus; petalis liberis; disco stamineo crasso; staminibus 

 numerosissimis, filamentis teneribus; ovario 2-loculari : foliis lanceolatis 

 vel ellipticis, breviter petiolatis, chartaceis, basi acutis, apice subacute 

 acuminatis; venis utrinquc 8-12. 



Cymes terminal at the apex of the larger or of short lateral branchlets, 

 1-3-flowered, peduncles and pedicels almost or entirely wanting: flower- 

 buds nearly ovoid to turbinate; calyx-tube 1.1-1.5 cm long at anthesis, 

 and over 1 cm wide at the base of the lobes, extending 6 mm or more
