Marcu 13, 1912] NOTES AND DESCRIPTIONS OF EUGENIA 1411 
On an open well drained hill at 1500 feet altitude. Known 
to the Bagobos as '"Tual." 
Eugenia mindanaensis C. B. Rob. 
Field-note:—A stocky tree with widely spreading branches; 
branchlets numerous, glabrous, shining brown, terete; leaves 
subcoriaceous, somewhat folded upon the darker upper side, 
paler green beneath, apices recurved; fruit 1 inch long, usually 
sunken at the top, much constricted toward the base, white or 
the exposed sides reddish tinged, lucid. 
Represented by number 11974, Elmer, Todaya (Mt. Apo), 
Mindanao, October, 1909. 
In fertile soil of open places or in light woods at 2500 feet. 
Well known to the Bagobos as ''Tabis." 
It grows in very similar places as E. malaccensis Linn. and 
is about as rare. Both of these edible species seem to me to have 
been originally introduced. 
Eugenia crassipes C. B. Rob. 
Field-note:—Erect shrub; stem 18 feet high, 6 inches thick, 
branched from below the middle; wood dingy white or brownish, 
rather soft, odorless and tasteless; bark yellowish brown, smooth; 
branchlets quite numerous, spreading, rather slender; leaves 
coriaceous, deep and shining green above, much paler or yellowish 
green beneath, flat or folded toward the recurved apex, the 
largest ones a foot long and fully 6 inches wide across the middle 
or just below this; buds obovoid; young infrutescence terminal 
or lateral, usually in 3’s; the green pedicels 0.33 inch long; calyx 
yellowish green, gradually tapering from the base to the rim 
which is 1 inch across; ovary and persistent style dull white, 
the ovary rim green; fruit ovoidly elongated, 5 cm. long, nearly 
vinosus. 
Represented by number 12147, Elmer, Magallanes (Mt. 
Giting-giting), Sibuyan, March, 1910.

Pauala river near the junetion of the south fork at 750 feet alti- 
tude. "Mabuyabos" is the local Visayan name.
