EUGENIA SUBSESSILIFLORA sp. nov. § Syzygium. 
Arbor glabra, circiter 15 m alta, ramis ramulisque teretibus; 
foliis oppositis, petiolatis, coriaceis, oblongo-ellipticis, acuminatis, 
basi acutis, usque ad 10 cm longis, haud glandulosis, nervis 
lateralibus tenuibus, patulis, indistinctis; floribus axillaribus 
terminalibusque, solitariis vel in racemis brevissimis paucifloris 
dispositis, subsessilibus, calycis tubo 15 ad 17 mm longo, sursum 
circiter 7 mm diametro, deorsum angustato; staminibus nume- 
rosis, 4 ad 10 mm longis. 
A glabrous tree about 15 m high, the branches and branchlets 
reddish-brown, terete, the latter slender, mostly 1 to 1.5 mm in 
diameter. Leaves opposite, oblong-elliptic, coriaceous, rather 
pale-olivaceous or greenish when dry, shining, lower surface 
slightly paler than the upper, 6 to 10 cm long, 2.5 to 4 cm wide, 
subequally narrowed to the acute base and to the rather prom- 
inently acuminate apex, not at all glandular on either surface; 
lateral nerves very slender, spreading, indistinct, at least 20 on 
each side of the midrib, scarcely more distinct than the secondary 
nerves and reticulations; petioles 5 to 7 mm long. Flowers 
white, axillary and terminal, mostly solitary, rarely in very short, 
about 3-flowered racemes, subsessile, the pedicels, when present, 
not exceeding 2 mm in length. Calyx 15 to 17 mm long in 
anthesis, about 7 mm in diameter at the apex, gradually nar- 
rowed downward to the acute base, the limb irregularly lobed, 
the lobes about 3 mm long and 2 mm wide, deciduous. Calyptra 
about 6 mm in diameter, the interior petals orbicular-ovate, 
about 3 mm in diameter, apparently free. Stamens indefinite, 
4 to 10 mm long. Fruit pink when fresh, 1.7 to 2 cm long, 6 
to 8 mm in diameter, club-shaped, truncate, narrowed from about 
the middle to the acute base.

This species manifestly belongs in the group with Eugenia claviflora 
Roxb., but is at once distinguished by its solitary or subsolitary, nearly 
sessile flowers. The inflorescence and eglandular leaves distinguish it 
at once from Eugenia wenzelit Merr. 
EUGENIA ALCINAE sp. nov. § Jambosa. 
Arbor circiter 15 m alta, glabra, ramis ramulisque gracilis, 
teretibus; foliis ovatis ad oblongis, coriaceis, in siccitate pallidis, 
nitidis, utrinque minute glanduloso-puncticulatis, usque ad 7 em 
longis, utrinque subaequaliter angustatis, basi acutis, apice acu- 
minatis, nervis utrinque numerosis, tenuibus, indistinctis, dense
