Marcu 13, 1912] NOTES AND Descriptions OF EUGENIA 1435 
greenish apex, stigma minute; rim thick, dull yellow and lucid 
on the inner side. 
Type specimen 12080, A. D. E. Elmer, Magallanes (Mt. 
Giting-giting), Province of Capiz, Island of Sibuyan, March, 1910. 
Discovered in deep red soil of dense woods on the trail to 
Espafia at 1500 feet altitude. Nowhere else seen. 
Apparently in the same group with E. incrassata Elm. 
Eugenia purpuricarpa Elm. n. sp. 
A rather large tree; stem 1 m. thick, 20 m. high, terete, 
chiefly branched toward the top; wood hard, brittle, heavy, 
odorless and tasteless, changing from the thin sappy white 
outer portion to the atropurpureus heartwood; bark scaling 
in thin brown scales; main branches widely spreading and crook- 
edly rebranched; the ultimate ones usually in subwhorls, very 
numerous, terete, lax, green, glabrous, erect. Leaves ascend- 
ing, shallowly folded upon the upper darker green side, glabrous, 
subchartaceous, abruptly terminated by a blunt acute to sub- 
acuminate point, base obtuse to broadly cuneate, the entire 
margins subinvolute in the dry state, the larger blades 7 em. 
long and one half as wide across the middle, often much smaller, 
drying brown on both sides, mostly opposite, well scattered along 
the branchlets, elliptic or the smaller ones oblong; midvein brown 
and ridged beneath; lateral nerves numerous, their tips sub- 
marginally united into a line, strict, nearly divaricate, a trifle 
plainer on the upper surface in the dry state at least, the cross 
bars or reticulations quite evident from both sides, finely punctate; 
petiole thick, furrowed along the upper side, brown, glabrous, 
7.5 mm. long. Young, infrutescence terminal or from the upper- 
most leaf axils, erect or ascending, widely spreading, less than 
1 dm. long; peduncle pale green, branched toward the ends 
only or occasionally from the middle, all the stalks strict, the 
few secondary branches in subwhorls and subterete; flowers 
verticellately clustered at the ends of the ultimate branchlets, 
chiefly erect; calyx slenderly turbinate, 1 em. long, terete, grad- 
ually tapering in the fruiting state, when in flower campanulate 
toward the 4-apiculate crown, otherwise appearing stipitate, 
glaucus green or on the exposed side purple, more or less sprinkled 
with red in the middle region or above the middle; petals prob-
