of the branchlet., the smallest leaves broadly lanceolate; mid- 
rib very stout and prominent beneath, deeper brown when dry: 
deeply grooved upon the upper leaf surface; lateral nerves 9 
to 12 pairs, with occasionally secondary ones interspersed, equally 
visible from both sides, subdivarieate, their tips united into a 
submarginal vein 3 to 5 mm. from the edge, reticulation: numerous 
and conspicuous; petiole stout, 1 em. long, furrowed along the 
upper side. Inflorescence suberect, terminal or subterminal, 
5 to 9 em. long, rigid, branched from above the middle or oc- 
easionally from below it; peduncles usually 3, subangular, green 
glabrous, stout; main branches similar, divarieate, thickened 
at the base, occasionally short rebranched, the ultimate ones 
with a thick distal end which bears the few to severally clustered 
sessile flowers; calyx 7.5 mm. long, nearly as wide across the more 
or less irregular or undulate top, the upper broadly turbinate 
portion abruptly constricted into a pseudostalk, yellowish; lobes 
4, broadly orbieular or somewhat irregular in shape, 5 mm. aeross, 
very sparsely glandular, rotately spreading or reflexed, finally 
breaking off; petals of the same number, similar in shape, more 
veiny and glandular dotted in the middle basal region, caducous, 
stramineus, free; stamens indefinite; filaments white, interlaced, 
filiform and somewhat flattened toward the base, the outer

Type specimen 12869, A. D. E. Elmer, Puerto Princesa 
(Mt. Pulgar), Palawan, March, 1911. 
Discovered in fertile humid woods or forests at 750 feet 
altitude along the Napsan trail Named after Proj. Otis W. 
Calvin of the Manila Normal School. 
Leaves more numerously nerved and their finer reticulations 
much more prominent on both sides than in E. philippinensis 
C. B. Rob. The branching of the inflorescence is also different 
in ours.

Subterete or wadded toward the base, its main branches
