Type specimen 11633, A. D. E. Elmer, Todaya (Mt. Apo), 
District of Davao, Mindanao, September, 1909. 
Gathered in moist fertile soil of dense woods north of the 
Baruring river at 4000 feet altitude. This also the Bagobos

branching inflorescence which usually exceeds the foliage. 
Eugenia gitingensis Elm. n. sp. 
A very slender tree; stem 1.5 dm. thick, 10 m. high, terete, 
crookedly branched toward the top; wood hard, heavy, odor- 
less, a trifle bitter, dull white on the outside, becoming brownish 
toward the center; bark smooth, brown, reddish so beneath 
the epidermis; twigs lax, the young portion green, very smooth 
and slender, terete. Leaves coriaceous or subchartaceous, as- 
cending from the petiole, curvingly folded on the upper very 
deep green surface, much lighter green beneath, the recurved 
apex gradually tapering into the acute to acuminate point, 
nearly castaneus brown when dry, elliptic or ovately oblong, 
base broadly obtuse and distinctly decurrent for at at least 
5 mm., the entire margins very minutely involute, opposite, 
widely scattering along the branchlets, not numerous, the nor- 
mal lamina 1 dm. long by 5 cm. wide across the middle or below 
it, some larger and smaller; midvein very stout beneath, finely 
grooved above; lateral nerves about 20 pairs, relatively obscure 
from both sides, divaricate or slightly curved, their tips united 
into a distinct submarginal line 1.5 mm. from the edge, reticula-
