xi, c, i Merrill: Plants from Sorsogon Province, Luzon 23 
Luzon, Province of Sorsogon, Mount Pocdal, Bur. Sci. 23373 Ramos, 
August 1, 1915, in forests on the lower slopes. 
In leaf-form and appearance this species strongly resembles Eugenia 
balerensis C. B. Rob. ( E . brunnea C. B. Rob.), but the latter has its flowers 
solitary on the ultimate branchlets, not in triads. Its true alliance seems 
to be with Eugenia cinnamomea Vid., but while it closely resembles that 
species its inflorescence is entirely glabrous. 
EUGENIA BREVIPANICULATA sp. nov. § Jambosa. 
Arbor alta, glabra, ramis ramulisque teretibus ; foliis oppositis, 
ellipticis ad oblongo-ellipticis, coriaceis, in siccitate supra oli- 
vaceis, subtus pallidis, basi acutis, apice breviter obtuse acumi- 
natis, usque ad 7 cm longis, nervis utrinque 4 vel 5, subtus 
distinctis, laxis; inflorescentiis terminalibus lateralibusque, 
brevibus, paucifloris, calycis infundibuliformis, circiter 1 cm 
longis. 
A tall glabrous tree, the branches pale, terete, the branchlets 
slender, the ultimate ones 2 mm in diameter or less, terete. 
Leaves opposite, elliptic to oblong-elliptic, coriaceous, 4 to 7 
cm long, 2 to 3.5 cm wide, subequally narrowed to the acute 
base and to the shortly and obtusely acuminate apex, the upper 
surface olivaceous when dry, the lower pale, somewhat shining; 
lateral nerves 4 or 5 on each side of the midrib, slender but 
prominent on the lower surface, anastomosing, the reticulations 
obsolete or nearly so; petioles 2 to 3 mm long. Inflorescence 
terminal, axillary, and in the axils of fallen leaves, at most 3 
cm long, usually shorter, usually 3- to 5-flowered, the flowers 
white, often in triads, or the inflorescence often reduced to a 
single triad. Calyx-tube funnel-shaped, about 1 cm long, the 
lobes reniform, about 2 mm wide, shorter than wide. Style 
slender, about 1.5 cm long. 
Luzon, Province of Sorsogon, Mount Bagacaua, Bur. Sci. 23567 Ramos, 
August 21, 1915, in forests along small streams. 
This species belongs in the group with Eugenia xanthophylla C. B. 
Rob., and is perhaps as near Eugenia llanosii Merr. as any other described 
form. It is, however, very different from that species. Its leaves very 
closely resemble those of Eugenia whitfordii Merr., but that species has 
cauline inflorescences. 
EUGENIA LEUCOCARPA sp. nov. § Syzygium. 
Arbor alta, glabra, ramis ramulisque teretibus ; foliis coriaceis, 
oblongo-obovatis ad late oblongo-oblanceolatis, usque ad 5.5 cm 
longis, nitidis, in siccitate supra olivaceis, subtus pallidis, apice 
breviter abrupte acuminatis, deorsum gradatim angustatis, basi 
acutis, nervis utrinque numerosis, dense dispositis, subtus pro- 
minente purpureo-puncticulatis. Inflorescentiis terminalibus, 6
