 bracteoles subtending the flowers oblong-ovate, 1.5 mm. long; 

 the pedicels about 2 mm. long. Calyx-tube about 1 cm. long, 

 the limb somewhat spreading, and 8 to 9 mm. in diameter,' 

 excluding the lobes, narrowed below, somewhat funnel-shaped; 

 lobes ovate, rounded, sparsely punctate, 1 to 5 mm. long!

The alliance of tin's species is manifestly with Eugenia 

 pseudo-form osa, King, from which it differs chiefly in its 

 somewhat smaller, fewer-nerved leaves and in its distinctly 

 smaller flowers. Another allied species is Eugenia sexangu- 

 lalci, (Miq.) Koord. & VaL, which differs from the present 

 species, among other characters in its angular branchlets.

A glabrous tree with slender, terete, pale, smooth branches 

 and branchlets 1.5 to 2 nun. in diameter. Leaves opposite, 

 chartaceous or subcoriaceous, brittle, olivaceous to brownish- 

 olivaceous on both surfaces and somewhat shining when dry, 

 oblong to oblong-elliptic, 8 to 10 cm. long, 3 to 4 cm. wide, 

 the apex conspicuously subcaudate- or rostrate-acuminate, the 

 acumen blunt, about 1 cm. leng, the base acute to somewhat 

 acuminate, the upper surface minutely impressed-puncticulate, 

 the lower distinctly punctate under a lens ; lateral nerves about 

 10 on each side of the midrib, spreading, slightly curved, 

 prominent and projecting on the lower surface, usually im- 

 pressed on the upper surface, distant, rather irregular, anasto- 

 mosing with the equally distinct marginal nerves 2 to 4 mm. 

 from the edge of the leaf, the lateral nerves somewhat arched 

 between the anastomoses, the reticulations obsolete or subob-
