The collections from the latter islands do not quite agree with the type, the 

 submarginal vein being somewhat more distinct, and the branches of the in- 

 llorescence shorter. The differences, however, are merely matters of degree, and 

 are not considered to justify specific separation, in the light of present evidence. 



It is probable that For. Bur. 75J f S Hutchinson, from the Island of Dinagat, is 

 also referable here. The collection has mature white fruit, while that of E. glau- 

 cirnlfi.r is still unknown. The species closely approaches /•;. Myfomoa (Linn.) 

 Wight, and may prove inseparable from it.

Cymes terminal, 4-6 cm long, triohotoniously forked, their brandies 

 rather stout, angled and striate: individual dowers white, mostly m triads, 

 sessile or rarely on pedicels not more than L5 mm long; very ihort 

 bracteoles present at the forks of the inllorescence : calyx-tube turbinate, 

 6.6-8 mm long, extending about 3 mm beyond the ovary, 4 mm wide at 

 the apex: the upper margin forming 4 broadly rounded inconspicuous 

 undulations; corolla calyptrate, but separable into 4 petals about 4 mm 

 in diameter; disk thin; stamens numerous, their filaments about 6 mm 

 long, anthers 0.4 mm long, gland-tipped j stylo about 1 cm long; ovary 

 with comparatively thick walls, 2-celled, several-ovuled. 



A tree 7-8 m high, its trunk about 15 cm in diameter, the branches 

 covered with brownish bark, becoming grayish on the branchlets: leaves 

 sessile or very shortly petioled, the lamina obovate to nearly elliptic in 

 outline, 4.5-7.8 cm long. 2?-36 mm wide, the base auriculate or rounded 

 or forming a very short acumen from just before its junction with the 

 petiole, the margin revolute. the apex rounded or obscurely or very 

 broadly and shortly acuminate, the upper surface shining, the under 

 surface dull; primary lateral veins on each side of the midrib 5-7, 

 evident on both surfaces, less often with some of the intermediate veins 

 nearly as prominent, forming a definite submarginal vein with a short 

 loop-like external vein from the extreme base not reaching the middle of 

 the leaf and usually much shorter.
