libus, usque ad 10 cm longis dense multifloris; floribus sessilibus, 
calycibus infundibuliformibus, circiter 5 mm longis, 4-lobatis. 
A tree about 15 m high, glabrous, the older branches terete, 
grayish, the younger ones and the ultimate branchlets sharply 
and prominently 4-angled, almost winged. Leaves opposite, 
oblong, coriaceous, 10 to 15 cm long, 3 to 5 em wide, the upper 
surface brownish or olivaceous when dry, somewhat shining, the 
lower somewhat paler, apex shortly acuminate, base rounded to 
somewhat cordate; lateral nerves about 12 on each side of the 
midrib, prominent on the lower surface, irregular; anastomosing 
and forming a distinct marginal nerve 3 to 5 mm from the edge 
of the leaf, the reticulations rather lax; petioles 2 mm long or 
less. Panicles terminal, dense, many-flowered, branched from 
the base, up to 10 cm long and as wide or wider than long. 
Flowers white, odorless, crowded, mostly in triads on the ultimate 
branchlets, sessile, the buds obovoid. Calyx-tube funnel-shaped, 
about 5 mm long, 3 to 3.5 mm wide at the mouth, narrowed 
below into a short pseudostalk, dark-brown when dry, the lobes 
4, reniform to ovate-reniform, about 2 mm wide and 1 mm long. 
Petals 4, free, concave, orbicular to orbicular-obovate, 4 to 5 mm 
long. Stamens indefinite, 5 to 8 mm long.

This species is strongly marked by its sharply 4-angled branchlets, and 
its densely many-flowered terminal panicles. Following Robinson’s arrange- 
ment of the Philippine forms it falls in the group with Eugenia barnesii 
Merr., but is entirely different from that species in all characters.

A glabrous tree, the branches and branchlets terete, grayish, 
slender, the latter 2 mm in diameter or less. Leaves opposite, 
oblong to oblong-obovate, 9 to 16 cm long, 4 to 8 cm wide, rather 
pale when dry, shining, subequally narrowed to the acute base 
and to the acuminate apex; lateral nerves about 10 on each side 
of the midrib, somewhat ascending, very prominent on the lower 
surface, anastomosing in the marginal nerve 4 to 8 mm from 
the edge of the leaf; petioles 2 to 3 mm long. Inflorescence
