1422 - LEAFLETS oF PHILIPPINE BOTANY [Vor. IV, ArT. 72 
"In my opinion it is not E. claviflora Roxb. (E. leptantha 
Wight) because of more numerous leaves which are not long 
acuminate, flowers only one half as long and with differently 
shaped fruits. 
Eugenia acuminatissima (Blm.) Kurz. 
Field-note:—Small tree; stem 8 m. high and 2.25 dm. 
thick; wood whitish, moderately hard, heavy, without odor 
or taste; bark brown, thickly checked; branches suberect, rather 
numerous at the top, the slender twigs green; inflorescence lax, 
erect, odorless, green except the creamy white flowers. 
Represented by number 11904, Elmer, Todaya (Mt. Apo), 
Mindanao, October, 1909. 
Collected in moist fertile soil of densely wooded slopes at 
3000 feet altitude, near streamlets on the Talon side of the 
mountain range. 
Possibly this should be referred under E. saligna (Miq.) 
C. B. Rob. 
Eugenia brevistylis C. B. Rob. 
Field-note:—A medium sized rather burly appearing tree; 
trunk 4.5 dm. thick, subterete, 12 m. high, with its main bran- 
ches arising from below the middle; wood hard, odorless and 
tasteless, reddish brown especially toward the center; bark yel- 
lowish gray and smooth or scaling in irregular plates; branchlets 
numerous, suberect; leaves descending, subchartaceous, folded 
upon the upper very much deeper green surface, apex recurved; 
Inflorescence erect or suberect, pale or whitish green, petals and 
stamens creamy white, ovary yellow, calyx margins deep red; 
flowers deciduous, odorless. 
Represented by number 12548, Elmer, Magallanes (Mt. 
Giting-giting), Sibuyan, May, 1910. 
Collected in moist gravelly soil of wooded banks of the 
Pauala river at 500 feet altitude. The Visayan of northern 
Sibuyan call it ‘“Magtungou.” 
. This was provisionally distributed last year under a new 
name. It is a good match of Dr. Robinson’s recently published 
species. :
