92. Eugenia mindorensis sp. now 



Inflorescentiis terminalibus vel subterminalibus, floribus sessilibus in 

 triadibus racemose dispositis: calycis tubo turbinato, margine superiore 

 undulato; corolla calyptrata: foliis eoriaceis, ellipticis vel elliptico-lance- 

 olatis, basi acutis, apice acuminatis; venis utrinque 15-18, concoloribus. 



Inflorescences terminal or in the upper axils, the axes rather stout, 

 terete, 2.5-5 cm long, the flowers in threes, white with an odor resembling 

 that of dandelions, sessile or on extremely short pedicels, the triads race- 

 mosely arranged : calyx-tube turbinate, 7 mm long, 2 mm in diameter at 

 the apex and nearly 2 mm at the base, extending 4 mm beyond the ovary, 

 its upper margin forming shallow undulations rather than lobes ; corolla 

 calyptrate; stamens numerous, the filaments 1-1.3 cm long, the anthers 

 0.5 mm long; style about 1 cm long; ovary thick-walled, 2-celled, several- 

 ovuled. 



A tree attaining a height of 18 m and a trunk-diameter of 30 cm, its 

 terete branches covered with gray or cinnamon-gray bark: leaves with 

 petioles 8-12 mm long, the lamina coriaceous, elliptic or elliptic-lance- 

 olate, 5-10 cm long, 2.5-4.5 cm wide, the base acutely acuminate and 

 decurrent, the margin barely revolute, the apex gradually contracted and 

 forming an obtuse or subacute acumen about 1 cm long; primary lateral 

 veins on each side of the midrib 15-18, thin but distinct on the lower 

 surface, usually less distinct on the upper, somewhat irregularly forking 

 and anastomosing, slightly paler than the mesophyll, their apices forming 

 a definite vein about 1 mm within the margin.

94. Eugenia polycephaloides sp. nov. 



Inflorescentiis ramifloris, divaricato-cymosis ; calycis tubo turbinato, 

 lobis 4 ; petalis liberis vel fere calyptratis, 4, albis ; staminibus numerosis : 

 foliis breviter petiolatis vel subsessilibus, oblanceolatis vel ellipticis, 

 mediocris, admodum coriaceis, basi acuminatis, lente cordatis, apice obtuse 

 acuminatis; venis utrinque 14-18. 



Inflorescences borne on the branches below the leaves, dichotomously 

 and trichotomously cymose, usually widely divaricate, 5-10 cm long, 7-13 

 cm wide, common peduncle 1 cm long or shorter or none; bracts similar 

 to the bracteoles; flowers usually in threes, the individual ones sessile, 

 subtended by two decussate pairs of ovate or suborbicular bracteoles 2-3 

 mm long: calyx-tube turbinate, 5-5.5 mm long, 4-5 mm wide at the base
