larger blades at least 6 cm. long by one half as wide across the 
middle or above it, broadly rounded or truneately so at the 
apex and with a blunt very short tip in the middle, base obtuse 
or acute, midrib ridged beneath, grooved above; lateral nerves 
numerous and fine, oblique, their tips united into a line 2 mm. 
from the edge, reticulations nearly obsolete and more or less 
subparallel; petioles stout, 5 mm. long or longer, caniculate 
on the upper side, very dark brown. Infrutescence erect, ter- 
minal; peduncle subterete, usually single, branched from the 
middle, smooth and shining, pale green; branches divaricate, 
more angular, quite freely rebranched, the ultimate ones 5 mm. 
long; fruits in pairs or occasionally 3-clustered, sessile, oblongish 
globose, 7.5 to 10. mm. long, 5 to 7.5 mm. thiek aeross the

Type specimen 13231, A. D. E. Elmer, Puerto Princesa 
(Mt. Pulgar), Palawan, May, 1911. 
Discovered on my last trip along the west branch of the 
Iwahig river, upon seepage rock ledges covered with thin woods 
at about 750 feet. The fruits give the trees a red appearance. 
Eugenia iwahigensis Elm. n. sp. 
A middle sized tree; stem terete, 3 dm. thick, 10 to 12 m. 
high, branched mainly toward the top and forming a dense 
flattish crown; bark dark brown below the yellowish gray surface 
which in the old state usually peels in small plates; wood hard, 
brittle, quite heavy, odorless, a trifle bitter, the central portion 
nearly umber brown; twigs erect, numerous, relatively short, 
terete, the greenish tips also glabrous. Leaves ample, thick 
and rigid, flat, ascending, paler green beneath, the entire mar- 
gins curved upon the nether side, opposite, scattered along the 
branchlets, drying grayish green, obovately elliptic or elliptically 
oblong, rounded at the apex, obtuse to acute at the base, the
