about 7 on each side of the midvein, slender, curved upwardly, 
the upper surface glabrous, reticulate-veined, the under surface 
impressed-glandular, the glandular petioles 6~7 mm. long; fruiting 
racemes 6-10 cm. long; fruit oblong, 10-15 mm. long, the four thin 
wings glandular, the pedicels about 2 mm. long.

late-veined, punctate, dark green and shining above, pale green 
beneath, the apex acute, the base narrowed, the strigose or glabrate 
petioles 3-5 mm. long; panicles several- to many-flowered, 5-7 cm. 
long, their slender branches spreading; flowers nearly or quite 
sessile; calyx-lobes rounded; immature fruit globose, about 5 mm. 
in diameter. 
Arima, Trinidad (J. Dannouse, Feb. 10, 1905). 
Eugenia Baileyi sp. nov.
