crooked or usually incurved, the inner ones very much shorter, 
whitish, when dry latericius; anther 0.33 mm. long, orbicular,

Type specimen 12818, A. D. E. Elmer, Puerto Princesa 
(Mt. Pulgar), Palawan, March, 1911. 
Discovered in well drained soil of a forested ridge at 1000 
feet altitude. Quite rare! 
Differs from E. rosenbluthii C. B. Rob. by its mor» numerous- 
ly and prominently nerved leaves which are finely but distinctly 
punctate. Inflorescence more scattering, its ultimate branch- 
lets longer, all its stalks subterete not conspicuously angled or 
winged, neither are the flowers subtended by apiculate bracts. 
Eugenia burebidensis Elm. n. sp. 
A medium sized tree; stem 13 to 15 m. high, 4.5 dm. thick, 
subterete; bark smooth, gray on the branches, crookedly spread- 
ing and forming a flattish crown, the main branches ascending 
and arising from near the middle; the twigs numerous, forming 
dense masses, suberect, comparatively short, the green and 
glabrous ultimate ones in subwhorls, angular but not winged, 
the older twigs becoming terete; wood reddish brown, hard, 
heavy. Leaves punctate on both sides, copious, opposite, as- 
cending, the blunt and abruptly constricted acute to subcuneate 
apex recurved, somewhat folded upon the darker green upper 
surface, base acute to obtuse, elliptic, greatly varying in size, 
the average ones 4.5 em. long, 2.25 em. wide at the middle, thick 
and rigid, brown or sordid when dry, margins entire, when fresh 
similarly green on both sides; midrib rigid, grooved on the upper

5 to 7 pairs or more, divaricate or oblique; petiole 3 mm. long, 
also glabrous. Infrutescence erect, terminal, 3 em. long, very
