also axillary, their pedicels supplied with several irregularly 
arranged ovate to lanceolate bracteoles or scales which are 
usually 1 to 2 mm long, acuminate, rarely a linear one up to 5 
mm in length present. Buds obovoid. Flowers at least 8 cm 
in diameter. Calyx-tube funnel-shaped, about 1 cm long, in 
anthesis nearly 1.5 cm wide at the mouth, brown when dry, the 
lobes 4, ovate to reniform, about 5 mm long and 10 mm wide. 
Petals 4, free, suborbicular to obovate, about 12 mm long. 
Stamens very numerous, 1.5 to 2 cm long.

The first specimen cited is from gravel bars of a stream bed and the 
other two from the banks of streams, altitude 10 to 80 meters. The species 
is manifestly another representative of the stenophyllous type of shrubs 
growing along streams in habitats subject to inundation. It is apparently 
most closely allied to Eugenia squamifera C. B. Rob., but has entirely 
different, much narrower leaves and solitary flowers. Mr. Fischer records 
its Bicol name as milibig. 
EUGENIA KAM ELI I sp. nov. § Jambosa? 
Arbor alta glabra, ramis ramulisque teretibus ; foliis ellipticis, 
coriaceis, usque ad 20 cm longis, nitidis, in siccitate supra brun- 
neis, subtus pallidis, abrupte late breviterque acuminatis, basi 
rotundatis, nervis utrinque circiter 10, vix prominentibus ; flor- 
ibus fasciculatis, axillaribus et in axillis defoliatis, circiter 3 cm 
diametro, calycis tubo turbinato, extus parcissime pubescens. 
A tall tree, glabrous, the branches and branchlets terete, gray- 
ish or brownish, the latter 2 to 4 mm in diameter. Leaves ellip- 
tic, opposite, coriaceous, 15 to 20 cm long, 9 to 12 cm wide, shining 
when dry, the upper surface dark-brown, the lower much paler, 
apex abruptly, broadly, obtusely short-acuminate, base rounded; 
lateral nerves about 10 on each side of the midrib, not prominent, 
irregular, anastomosing 1 to 1.5 cm from the margin, the prim- 
ary reticulations very lax, not prominent. Flowers white, axil- 
lary, and on the branches below the leaves, fascicled, subsessile 
or shortly pedicelled, in anthesis about 3 cm in diameter. Buds 
obovoid. Calyx-tube turbinate, externally slightly pubescent 
with scattered short hairs, about 1 cm long, with four large, 
persistent, orbicular-reniform lobes about 5 mm long and wide. 
Petals 4, elliptic to obovate, 10 to 12 mm long, rounded.

A species perhaps belonging in the section Eueugenia rather than Jam- 
bosa, well characterized by its large, rather obscurely nerved, elliptic leaves, 
its terete branches and branchlets, and its fascicled sessile or subsessile
