This species seems well distinct from E. acuminatissima by its essentially dif- 

 ferent venation; it is closely allied to E. per/mUida, from which it is most easily 

 separated by the characters indicated in the key. The Palawan collections have in 

 general larger and wider leaves than the type, attaining 85 by 32 mm, but they 

 seem to intergrade well with the most typical material. For. Bur. 8359 is atypic, 

 having leaves hardly at all acuminate.

This includes three more or less intergrading series, the first well represented 

 by the type of E. cumingiami, a second formed by the collections from Benguet, 

 Zambales, Tayabas, and For. Bur. 11/91/, from Rizal, distinguished by having the 

 under surface of the leaves very conspicuously glandular; while For. Bur. 1/32, 

 from Hizal, and some of the Lanao specimen/; have much wider leaves, often 

 showing two submarginal veins. There seems to be no sufficient reason for 

 separating them specifically. 



The Philippine material has been compared with Javan specimens, taken from 

 trees in cultivation at Buitenzorg, and with a sheet from the Andaman Islands, 

 Dr. /'rain's collector 85, a duplicate from the Botanic Gardens at Calcutta, all 

 distributed as E. acuminatissima Kurz, and there can be no doubt that Merrill's 

 reduction of E. cumiiigiana is correct. But the former name had already been 

 used in Eugenia- for two other species, though one does not belong to this genus: 

 the other is apparently valid. It has been necessary, in consequence, to accept 

 Miquel's specific name as the oldest tenable one. the synonymy being taken from 

 Koorders and Valeton.
