336 NEW OR NOTEWORTHY BORNEAN PLANTS. 
British North Borneo, Sandakan, Ramos 1466, October, 1920. 
In damp forests at low altitudes. A species closely allied to the 
Philippine Hugenia rubronervia C. B. Rob., differing in its terete 
branchlets, its longer-petioled leaves, the upper surfaces of which 
are strongly shining, not dull when dry. The flowers appear to be 
distinctly larger than in the Philippine species. 
Eugenia woodii sp. nov. § Jambosa. 
Arbor parva, glabra, ramulis teretibus ; foliis magnis, coriaceis, 
oblongo-lanceolatis, 40-—60 cm. longis, brevissime petiolatis, apice 
perspicue acuminatis, basi rotundatis et leviter cordatis, nervis 
utrinque 40—50, valde perspicuis; inflorescentiis axillaribus termi- 
nalibusque brevibus, dichotome ramosis, ramulis brevibus, ultimis 
circiter 5 mm. longis; calyce infundibuliformi, tereti, circiter 2 cm. 
longo, et 1 cm. diametro, deorsum valde angustato, perspicue 
+-lobato, styhs circiter 3.5 cm. longis. 
A glabrous tree about 7 m. high, the branches terete, the ulti- 
mate ones 5 to 8 mm. in diameter. Leaves opposite and coriaceous 
oblong-lanceolate, 50 to 60 cm. long, 9 to 18 em. wide, the base 
rounded and slightly cordate, the apex prominently acuminate, the 
acumen about 3 cm. long, the upper surface grayish or olivaceous 
when dry, the lower pale; lateral nerves 40 to 50 on each side of 
the midrib, very prominent, spreading, slightly curved and astomos- 
ing with the distinct, slightly arched, marginal nerves, 3 to 5 mm. 
from the edge of the leaf; petioles very stout, 5 mm. long or less. 
Inflorescences axillary and terminal, the short peduncle and axis 
about 2 em. long, dichotomously branched, the branches short, the 
ultimate branchlets about 5 mm. lone each bearing a single flower 
which is subtended by 2 small bracteoles. Calyx funnel-shaped,

British North Borneo, Bettotan Watershed, D. D. Wood 688 
(type), June 5, 1919, in flat forests, altitude about 20 meters; Batu 
Lima and Sebuga near Sandakan, Ramos 1262, 1803, 1804, October 
and December, 1920, in forests at low altitudes. A remarkable 
species strongly characterized by its elongated, numerously and 
conspicuously nerved leaves which are slenderly acuminate at their 
apices and narrowed below to the rounded and slightly cordate bases, 
as well as by its short inflorescences and its calyx characters.
