x, c, 3 Merrill: New Species of Eugenia 223 
Luzon, Province of Laguna, San Antonio, Bur. Sci. 16588, 204.89 (type) 
Ramos, September, 1912, and February, 1913, the former with buds, the 
latter with old flowers. 
A species allied to Eugenia everettii C. B. Rob., from which it is dis- 
tinguished by its pale, fewer nerved leaves which are different in shape. 
EUGENIA SAM ARENSIS sp. nov. § Jambosa. 
Arbor alta, glabra, ramis ramulisque crassis, ramulis quadran- 
gularis; foliis brevissime petiolatis, coriaceis, oblongo-ellipticis 
ad anguste obovato-ellipticis, usque ad 35 cm longis, apice bre- 
viter late acuminatis, basi rotundatis vel obscure cordatis, nervis 
utrinque circiter 18, subtus valde prominentibus ; fioribus fas- 
ciculatis, e ramis defoliatis, circiter 3.5 cm diametro. 
A tall tree, entirely glabrous, the branches and branchlets 
stout, the former terete or obscurely angled, the latter distinctly 
4-angled, brownish or grayish. Leaves opposite, coriaceous, 
oblong-elliptic to narrowly obovate-elliptic, 30 to 35 cm long, 
about 14 cm wide, shining when dry, the upper surface brown, 
the lower much paler, apex abruptly and broadly acuminate, 
base rounded or obscurely cordate; lateral nerves about 18 on 
each side of the midrib, very prominent on the lower surface, 
nearly straight, somewhat ascending, irregular, anastomosing 6 
to 9 mm from the margin to form very prominent, somewhat 
arched marginal nerves, with a secondary, much fainter sub- 
marginal nerve nearer the margins, the reticulations prominent, 
lax; petioles very stout, 2 mm long or less. Flowers white, nu- 
merous, fascicled on the branches below the leaves, the pedicels 
stout, up to 8 mm in length. Calyx-tube funnel-shaped, about 
5 mm long and wide, the lobes persistent, orbicular, rounded, 
about 5 mm long and wide. Petals orbicular-obovate, about 1 
cm long. Stamens very numerous, up to 2 cm in length. 
Samar, Cauayan Valley, Phil. PL 1671 Ramos, April, 1914, in forests 
along streams. 
This striking species is well characterized by its large, prominently 
nerved leaves, but especially by its fascicled, numerous, rather large flowers 
which are arranged on the branches below the leaves. In Robinson’s key 
to the Philippine species it falls in the group with Eugenia gigantifolia 
Merr., but is entirely different from this species, and all others placed 
near it, in its fascicled flowers. 
EUGENIA TAYTAYENSIS sp. nov. § Jambosa. 
Arbor circiter 15 m alta, glabra, ramis vetustioribus teretibus, 
junioribus ramulisque prominente acute quadrangulatis ; foliis 
oppositis, oblongis, coriaceis, usque ad 15 cm longis, breviter 
acuminatis, basi rotundatis ad leviter cordatis, nervis utrinque 
circiter 12, subtus prominentibus, distantibus ; paniculis termina-
