gins subinvolute, oblong to obovate, the medium sized ones 
13 cm. long, 6 em. wide, apex broadly rounded with a very

3 mm. across at the truncate or 4-apiculate rim, subtended

Type specimen 8879, A. D. E. Elmer, Baguio, Province 
of Benguet, Luzon, March, 1907. The Igorrotes call it Pelio 
and report.the fruit edible. In woods on the trail one mile 
below the barrio after which it is named. Leaves similar 
to E. densinervia Merr., section Syzygium, but the inflores- 
cence is more compact, more numerously flowered and the 
individual flowers only one half as large as 1249 of Dr. H. N, 
Whitford from the Lamao river, Mount Mariveles, Luzon. 
Eugenia curtiflora n. sp.—Tree, with leaf scars gnarly, 
yellowish gray branchlets. Leaves opposite, coriaceous, oblan-
