PHILIPPINE PLANTS, IX. 315 



EUGENIA CILIATO-SETOSA sp. nov. % Syzygium ? 



Arbor parva 2 ad 5 m alta, ramulis foliis subtus ad nervos 

 inflorescentiisque insigniter ciliato-setosis ; foliis oblongo-lanceo- 

 latis, usque ad 20 cm longis, acuminatis, basi cordatis, brevissime 

 petiolatis, nervis lateralibus marginalibusque subtus prominen- 

 tibus; inflorescentiis terminalibus, paniculatis, ut videtur pauci- 

 floris, fructibus inaequilateraliter obovoideis, 1.5 ad 2 cm longis. 



A small tree or a shrub 2 to 5 m high, the branches, nerves 

 on the lower surfaces of the leaves, especially the midribs, and 

 the inflorescence prominently ciliate-setose. Branches terete, 

 grayish, slender. Leaves opposite, oblong-lanceolate, 14 to 20 

 cm long, 3 to 6 cm wide, chartaceous, the upper surface glabrous, 

 olivaceous, shining, the lower paler, the midrib prominently, the 

 lateral nerves sparingly ciliate-setose, apex sharply and slenderly 

 acuminate, the base rather abruptly rounded-cordate; nerves 

 very prominent on the lower surface, 20 to 25 on each side of the 

 midrib, anastomosing in nearly straight marginal nerves as 

 prominent as the lateral ones ; petioles ciliate-setose, about 2 mm 

 long. Inflorescence terminal, ciliate-setose, paniculate, 10 to 

 15 cm long including the elongated peduncle, the branches few, 

 spreading, apparently few-flowered. Immature buds obovoid, 

 about 4 mm long. Fruits inequilaterally obovoid, 1.5 to 2 cm 

 long, nearly smooth, green when fresh. 



Luzon, Province of Cagayan, Abulug River, Bur. Sci. 13974. Ramos 

 (type), with immature buds and fruits, For. Bur. 11590, 1397i Curran, 

 with fruits, all collected in January, 1912, in dipterocarp forests 30 to 50 

 meters above sea-level. 



A most striking species, differing from all the Philippine forms, and 

 from most or quite all of the previously described species in the genus by 

 its prominently ciliate-setose branches, leaves, and inflorescence. 



EUGENIA PROPINQUA sp. nov. § Syzygium. 



Species E. pauciveniae C. B. Rob., simillima et affinis, differt 

 foliis minoribus, distincte petiolatis, floribus ut videtur mino- 

 ribus. 



A tree (fide Ramos) , 10 m high, glabrous, the branches terete, 

 somewhat grayish and reddish-brown, the young branchlets 

 slightly compressed, slender. Leaves numerous, crowded, coria- 

 ceous, shining on both surfaces, oblong-elliptic to obovate, the 

 base acute, the apex rounded, usually broadly so, 3 to 5 cm long, 

 1.5 to 3 cm wide; nerves about 10 on each side of the midrib, 

 indistinct, irregular, very obscurely anastomosing; petioles 3 to 

 4 mm long. Inflorescence terminal, many-flowered, 3 to 4 cm
