terminalibus, paniculatis, usque ad 12 cm longis, e basi ramosis; 
floribus sessilibus, in ramulis ultimis in triadibus dispositis; 
calycibus 5 ad 6 mm longis, truncatis, infundibuliformibus. 
A glabrous shrub about 2 m high fide Wenzel, the branches 
and branchlets rather slender, terete, or a little compressed at 
the nodes, grayish- to reddish-brown, smooth, the ultimate ones 
3 mm in diameter or less. Leaves opposite, oblong-lanceolate 
to lanceolate, 28 to 35 cm long, 7 to 8 cm wide, pale-olivaceous 
when dry, shining on both surfaces, base slightly narrowed, 
rounded, distinctly cordate, gradually narrowed from about the 
middle to the slenderly and sharply caudate-acuminate apex; 
lateral nerves 30 to 35 on each side of the midrib, spreading, 
slightly curved, very prominent on the lower surface, anastomos- 
ing in a marginal nerve, 3 to 5 mm from the margin, the mar- 
ginal nerve as prominent as the lateral ones. Inflorescence 
terminal, paniculate, up to 12 cm long, many-flowered, branched 
from the base, the branches few. Flowers sessile, in triads on 
the ultimate branchlets, the subtending bracteoles broadly ovate, 
acute, about 1 mm long. Calyx funnel-shaped, 5 to 6 mm long, 
5 mm in diameter at the throat, truncate, not at all lobed. Co- 
rolla of wholly united petals forming a calyptra 3 to 3.5 in diam- 
eter which falls as a whole. Stamens indefinite, the filaments 
7 to 9 mm long. 
LeYTE, Buenavista, near Jaro, C. A. Wenzel 1062 (type), August 25, 
1914, in forests, altitude about 500 meters; Bur. Sci. 15178 Ramos from 
Leyte is manifestly the same species. 
A very strongly characterized species, readily recognizable by its elon- 
gated, prominently nerved, cordate, slenderly caudate-acuminate leaves and 
its terminal paniculate inflorescences. It is most closely allied to Eugenia 
urdanetensis Elm., of Mindanao, and following Robinson’s arrangement 
of our forms, falls in the group with Eugenia glaucicalyx Merr. and E. 
paucivenia C. B. Rob. 
EUGENIA MARITIMA sp. nov. § Syzygium. 
Arbor circiter 25 m alta, glabra, ramulis ramulisque tenuibus, 
teretibus, vel ramulis leviter compressis; foliis oppositis, coria- 
ceis, oblongo-ellipticis, in siccitate pallidis, usque ad 10 cm longis, 
utrinque angustatis, basi acutis, apice subtenuiter acuminatis, 
nervis utrinque numerosis, tenuibus, dense dispositis; inflores- 
centiis lateralibus, cymosis, breviter pedunculatis, circiter 5 cm 
longis, calycis tubo circiter 4 mm diametro, truncato, deorsum 
angustato, 7 mm longo. 
A glabrous tree about 25 m in height, the trunk covered with 
purplish or reddish-purple bark in large, thin, papery or mem- 
branaceous flakes. Branches slender, pale-brownish, terete, the
