Type specimen 12904, A. D. E. Elmer, Puerto Princesa 
(Mt. Pulgar), Palawan, March, 1911. 
Found growing in a sand gravelly flat along a small wooded 
Stream at 500 feet altitude and located between the forks of 
the Iwahig river. 
As its name implies it is near E. mimica Merr. but our leaves 
have more numerous lateral primary nerves and fruits only 
one half as large. 
Eugenia davaoensis Elm. n. sp. 
A large tree; trunk 1 m. thick, 15 to 20 m. high, not terete 
but more or less wadded, branched above the middle; wood 
whitish, hard, odorless and tasteless or with a slight bitter 
taste; bark gray on the branches, yellowish brown on the stem, 
peeling in thin plates; branchlets crooked, rigid, the ultimate 
ones rather numerous and erect, forming a flattish crown, usually 
checked transversely upon, drying. Leaves rigidly coriaceous, 
ascending, oppositely scattered along the branchlets, avellaneus 
in the dry state, very dark green above, paler beneath, flat, 
the very abrupt acute points strongly recurved, base rounded 
and the lamina only slightly decurrent, the entire margins recurved 
in the dry state, grayish brown punctate or finely blistery beneath 
the average blades 5 em. long by 3 em. wide at the middle 
elliptic or obovately elliptic; midvein prominent beneath, deeply 
grooved above, glandular punctate; lateral nerves about 10, 
with alternating secondary ones, straight, divaricate, quite 
evident beneath, their tips united into a line 1.5 mm. from the
