longis, nervis cum venularum reti utrinque distinctis, basi acutis, 
apice breviter acuminatis, acuminis retusis; petiolo 4 ad 5 mm 
longo; floribus axillaribus, solitariis vel binis, breviter pedicel-

A small glabrous tree 4 to 5 m high, the branches and branch- 
lets terete, smooth, reddish-brown, the ultimate branchlets slen- 
der, 1 mm in diameter or less, the internodes mostly about 1 
cm long. Leaves coriaceous, elliptic to oblong-elliptic, 4 to 5 
cm long, 2 to 3 cm wide, subequally narrowed to the acute base 
and to the shortly acuminate apex, the apex retuse, margins 
minutely crenulate-serrulate, the nerves and reticulations dis- 
tinct on both surfaces, the primary lateral nerves 7 to 9 on each 
side of the midrib, scarcely more prominent than are the second- 
ary nerves and primary reticulations, freely anastomosing; 
petioles 4 to 5 mm long. Flowers axillary, solitary or in pairs, 
their pedicels 2 mm long or less. Sepals glabrous, orbicular to 
subreniform, retuse, the outer ones about 2 mm, the inner 3 mm 
in diameter. Fruits globose, 5 mm in diameter; styles 3, nearly 
free, about 1 mm long.

A species in the general alliance with Eurya japonica Thunb., but dis- 
tinguished by many characters, notably in its thicker, prominently and 
rather densely reticulate leaves. Among the Philippine species it is most 
closely allied to Eurya coriacea Merr., from which it is distinguished by its 
shorter petioles and much smaller, entirely glabrous sepals.

A small tree, about 5 m high, entirely glabrous except the 
minutely ciliate margins of the sepals. Branches and branchlets 
dark-gray, rather stout, the ultimate branchlets 2 to 3 mm in 
diameter, the internodes short, usually 5 mm long or less.
