2350 LEAFLETS OF PHILIPPINE BOTANY [Vor. VII, ART. 
Type specimen number 13983, A. D. E. Elmer, Cabadbaran | 
(Mt. Urdaneta), Province of Agusan, Mindanao, October, 1912. 
Collected in dry well drained soil of a steep densely for- | 
ested slope at 1250 feet altitude. Rather common in this 
place but no where else seen. Its shining lividus colored 
inedible fruits are very conspicuous. "''Langawisay" in Man- 
manua and ''Cagageo" in Manobo. 
Possibly only a form or variety of Eugenia mananquil 
Bleo., yet in my opinion specifically distinct. 
Eugenia vaccinioides Elm. n. sp.

inclining, more or less 8 m high, rigidly branched above 
the middle; wood heavy and very hard, the thick sapwood

slightly bitter or tasteless, entirely odorless; bark dark brown, 
its surface vary dull; m»in branches also crooked ultimately 
numerously rebranched; twigs short and erect, the ultimate

dry state, the recurved apex acute though terminated with 
blunt points, acute to obtuse at base, generally the terminal 
ones reduced; midrib deeply impressed on the upper side, 
reddish brown beneath and quite conspicuous toward the 
base, the lateral nerves and reticulations very minute or 
barely visible from the under side; petiole 1 to 3 mm 
long, glabrous, flattened along the upper side. Infrutescence 
profuse, erect, terminal, exceeding the foliage; stalks few to 
severally clustered or solitary from the uppermost leaf axils, 
at most 5 cm long, glabrous, rather slender, few, short 
branched from above the middle, pale green, sharply angled 
or winged, the ultimate branchlets or pedicels 1 cm long; 
fruits or berries 8 mm in diameter, flatly globose or trun-
