A PRELIMINARY REVISION OF PHILIPPINE MYBTACELS3. 883 



cm long, its axes striate and at least the upper more or less angled, the 

 flowers in threes at the apices of its branches, sessile or the terminal on 

 pedicels 1-2 mm long: calyx-tube turbinate, 8-10 mm long, 5 mm wide 

 below the apex, the truncate or subtrimcate apex incurved, 3.5 mm wide : 

 corolla before anthesis practically a continuation of the calyx, calyptrate; 

 stamens numerous, the filaments in the young flowers about I mm long, 

 the anthers 0.7 mm long; style then less than 5 mm long; ovary 2-celled. 



Branches terete, covered with very thin papery smooth brownish-purple 

 (when dry) bark: leaves with petioles 1.3-15 mm long, the lamina 

 chartaceous, lanceolate, 19-22 cm long, 48-64 mm wide, the base acutely 

 acuminate, the margins strongly revolute, the apex sub falcate, one 

 margin usually nearly straight, incurved on the other, forming a nearly 

 acute acumen 3-5 em long; primary lateral veins on each Bide of the 

 midrib when viewed from beneath seem to be about 30, when viewed from 

 above hardly more conspicuous than the intervening ones and seeming 

 to be from 40 to 50; forming a slightly arched intramarginal vein hut 

 little within the incurved margins. 



Cuming 101,9, localized on the sheet as from Albay Province, Luzon, but more 

 likely from Zambales. The species is very distinct from anything else in the 

 collection.

The Mariveles collections fall under E. leptantha, but that has been reduced to 

 a variety of Roxburgh's older species. For. Bur. 7132 has definitely broader 

 flowers, but is otherwise closely allied, and For. Bur. 181,32 is somewhat inter- 

 mediate. 



Local names, Gamatulay (Negrito), Maramaotan and Cusaram (Cag.), all 

 from Cagayan: Panglongbuyan-gangoan, Ilocos: Carra and doubtfully Malaruhat 

 na puti, Bataan. 



Noted as a timber tree in Cagayan: Boxburgh notes this species as a useful 



timber tree in India.

66. Eugenia dementis sp. now 



Florihus terminalibus, in umbello composito dispositis, probabiliter 

 cvmosis, sessilibus, calycis tubo breviter campanulato basi longiter 

 producto; lobis 4, parvis; petalis 4, parvis; staminibus circiter 30; ovario 

 2-loculari: foliis oblongo-ellipticis, basi cuneatis decurrentibusque apice 

 acuminatis. 



Flowers arranged in a terminal compound umbel, probably cymose, 

 each inflorescence 4-6 cm long, more or less trichotomous, the rachis 

 and its branches 4-angled: individual flowers without pedicels; calyx in 

 all 12-14 mm long, the pseudostalk usually definite, 0.5-1 2 mm long,
