Marcu 13, 1912] NOTES AND DESCRIPTIONS oF EUGENIA 1425 
Closely allied to E. parva (Merr.) C. B. Rob. based upon 
Dr. Whitford’s mount Mariveles collection number 1136. In- 
florescence in ours only sparsely branched, the branchlets di- 
varicately spreading, bearing flowers twice as large. Our leaves 
average again as wide as those on the type specimen. 
Eugenia antoniana Elm. n. sp. 
. A middle sized tree; trunk 4.5 dm. thick, 12 m. high or 
higher; bark smoothish, yellowish brown, graylsh mottled on 
the branches; wood moderately hard, sappy white, without 
oder or taste; branches chisfly toward the top, ultimately nu- 
merously rebranched and forming quite dense bushes; twigs 
ascending, umber scurfy, terete, rather slender. Leaves horizon- 
tal, the sharply acute to acuminate apex strongly recurved, 
folded upon the upper deep green and shining glabrous side, 
much lighter green and brown scaberulous beneath, the 2 sides 
drying very unequally brown, opposite, not numerous but usually 
toward the ends of the branchlets, the entire margins subinvolute 
In the dry state, elliptic to oblongish, chartaceous, obtuse to 
obtusely rounded at the base, the average ones 1 dm. long by 
4.5 em. across the middle; midrib finely grooved above, very 
prominent beneath and brown scurfy; lateral nerves with 7 to 12 
primary pairs, similarly conspicuous and but slightly less scurfy, 
divaricate, united into a very prominent vein 5 or more mm. 
from the edge and the intervening space again nerved and sub- 
marginally veined, reticulations coarse and bold beneath, all 
more or less provided with brown scurfy trichomes; petiole 5 mm. 
long, caniculate above, densely scurfy brown. Inflorescence 
erect, terminal, corymbosely paniculate, 5 to 10 em. long, nearly 
as wide; the main stalks rebranched from above the middle. 
subterete, densely umber brown seurfy; the ultimate branches 
short, articulate, subtended by a pair of subreflexed bracts; 
flowers few clustered at the ultimate ends of the branchlets, 
subtended by similar bracts, faint but sweetly fragrant; calyx 
seurfy or roughly pulverulent, fuligineus, 4 mm. long, nearly 
as wide across the top, pyriform in the bud state, turbinate 
when in anthesis, its rim entirely without segmentation, terete, 
greenish toward the base, otherwise whitish; petals probably 
no more than 4, all more or less united into a circular calyptrate
