or less. Cymes terminal, peduncled, 3 to 4 cm long, rigid, 
rather few-flowered, branches ascending. Young fruits ellip- 
soid, about 7 mm long, sessile or on very short stout pedicels, 
each subtended by a pair of small, rigid, thick bracteoles, the 
bracts similar to the bracteoles but slightly larger. 
LEYTE, Dagami, Bur. Sci. 15358 Ramos, August 13, 1912, near the summit 
of Mount Buraui. 
A species belonging in the group with Eugenia densinervia Merr. and 
E, sablanensis Elm., but very different from both in its much smaller 
leaves which are glandular-puncticulate beneath. 
EUGENIA CRASSISSIMA sp. nov. § Syzygium? 
Arbor glabra circiter 14 m alta; foliis crassissime coriaceis, 
ternis, oblongo-obovatis, usque ad 25 cm longis, apice rotundatis, 
basi cuneatis, nervis utrinque numerosissimis, tenuibus, confer- 
tis; inflorescentiis terminalibus, pedunculatis, cymosis, circiter 
15 cm diametro, bracteis bracteolisque magnis, persistentibus ; 
calycibus urceolatis, circiter 1 cm longis, distincte 4-lobatis. 
A glabrous tree about 14 m high, the branches stout, terete, 
brown when dry, the ultimate ones about 1 cm in diameter. 
Leaves verticillate, ternate, very thickly coriaceous, oblong-obo- 
vate; 18 to 25 cm long, 9 to 11 em wide, apex broadly rounded, 
base narrowed, cuneate, the upper surface brown when dry, 
shining, the lower paler; nerves slender, very numerous, densely 
arranged, more distinct on the upper than on the lower surface. 
Inflorescence terminal, solitary, peduncled, cymose, about 15 cm 
in diameter, the peduncles and branches very stout, the lower 
branches up to 8 cm in length, the flowers crowded on the 
ultimate branchlets, sessile. Bracts very thickly coriaceous, per- 
sistent, oblong to ovate, up to 1 cm long, the two bracteoles sub- 
tending each flower persistent, elliptic to elliptic-obovate, 7 mm 
long or less, rounded, thickly coriaceous, persistent. Calyx about 
1 cm long, urceolate, the lobes 4, reniform, about 4 mm wide 
and 2 mm long. 
LEYTE, near Dagami, Bur. Sci. 15387 Ramos, August 22, 1912, in forests, 
Mount Ibuni. 
A most characteristic species, entirely different from all other Philippine 
forms. It is easily recognized by its large, ternate, very thickly coriaceous, 
densely nerved leaves. 
EUGENIA CAUDATIFOLIA sp. nov. § Syzygium. 
Frutex glaber, ramis ramulisque teretibus; foliis oblongo- 
lanceolatis vel lanceolatis, breviter petiolatis, coriaceis, usque ad 
35 cm longis, nitidis, basi rotundatis, distincte cordatis, sursum 
gradatim angustatis, longe tenuiter caudato-acuminatis, nervis 
utrinque 30 ad 35, subtus valde prominentibus; inflorescentiis
