inflorescentiis paniculatis, pyramidatis, circiter 10 cm longis la- 
tisque; floribus magnis, calycibus infundibuliformibus, lobis 4, 
magnis, subpersistentibus. 
A glabrous tree, size not indicated by the collector, the branches 
and branchlets pale, terete, the latter slender, the ultimate ones 
2 mm in diameter or less. Leaves opposite, oblong, coriaceous, 
pale or subolivaceous when dry, shining, the lower surface always 
pale, 9 to 13 cm long, 3 to 4.5 cm wide, subequally narrowed to 
the acuminate base and apex; lateral nerves about 13 on each 
side of the midrib, impressed on the upper surface, very prom- 
inent on the lower surface, nearly straight, rather irregular, 
anastomosing and forming a very prominent, slightly undulate 
marginal nerve on each side 2 to 4 mm from the leaf -margin; 
petioles 2 to 3 cm long. Panicles terminal or terminating short 
branches, pyramidal, about 10 cm long and wide, the branches 
rather few, spreading. Flowers large, one- jointed, immediately 
under the calyx, to each ultimate branchlet, the ultimate branch- 
lets mostly in threes. Calyx-tube about 1.5 cm long and wide, 
funnel-shaped, brown when dry, smooth, the lobes subpersistent, 
coriaceous, broadly ovoid, rounded, about 1 cm long and wide.

A species strongly characterized by its rather long-petioled, very prom- 
inently nerved leaves, its pyramidal panicles, and its large flowers. Fol- 
lowing Robinson’s arrangement of the Philippine species it falls in the 
group with Eugenia squamifera C. B. Rob., but is entirely different from 
this and the other species placed near it.

Frutex glaber, 2 ad 7 m altus, ramis ramulisque teretibus; 
foliis lanceolatis, oppositis, petiolatis, usque ad 10 cm longis, acu-

A glabrous shrub 2 to 7 m high, the branches and branchlets 
terete, rather slender, reddish-brown or somewhat grayish, the 
ultimate ones 1 to 2 mm in diameter. Leaves lanceolate, opposite, 
coriaceous, usually olivaceous on the upper surface and pale on 
the lower surface when dry, shining, 7 to 10 cm long, 1 to 1.5 cm 
wide, narrowed below to the acute base and above to the slender 
and rather sharply acuminate apex; lateral nerves about 10 on 
each side of the midrib, distant, straight, rather prominent on 
the lower surface, anastomosing in submarginal nerves, petioles 
2 to 3 mm long. Flowers white, solitary, terminal, very rarely
