.Tanuiuy, lMa_y; (1108, 1228 Whiiford) March, April. In forests 000 to 1,000 ni., 
widely distrihuted in the Philippines. Malayan Peninsula and Archipelago. . 
Vidal’s name for this species is invalid, but at any rate the Philippine form 
referred by him to Eugenia cumingiuna is apparently identical with E. acum- 
inatissima Kurz. A cotype of Vidal’s species (025 Vuniing) is in our herbarium. 
E. acuminatissima (Blume) Kurz, var. parva Merrill, var. nov. 
Similar to the species but with much less acuminate I'cduced leaves 3 to 0 cm. 
long, 0.8 to 1.5 cm. wide. 
(1130, 1218 Wliitfonl) April, March; also No. 8(il Cuming, Philippines, 
183(i-40, without locality. On exposed ridges in the mossy, forests at about 
1,000 m., apparently only a reduced form of the s])ecies due to habitat. 
2. Eugenia arcuati nervia Merrill, sp. nov. § Jamhosa. 
A tree reaching a height of 20 m. Branches light gray or brownish, glahrous, 
terete. Leaves ovate lanceolate, glabrous, subcoriaceous, rather prominently

5.5 cm. wide; primary nerves about 10 on each side of the midril), rather prom- 
inent beneath, spreading, anastomosing and forming an arched intramarginal 
nerve, 3 to 5 mm. from the margin of the leaf as prominent as the primary 
nerves, and a secondary marginal nerve as prominent as the lax reticulations; 
petioles 1.5 cm. long, channeled above, the lamina slightly narrowly decurrent. 
Inflorescence of narrow few llow’ered terminal and axillary racemose panicles 
8 cm. long or less, the ped\mcles glabrous, often slightly angled, 3 to 5 cm. long. 
Flowers solitary or in ]>airs, white, fragrant, 1.5 cm. long including the stamens, 
the Inuls globose or obovoid. Calyx cup-shaped, narrowed to the 2 or 3 mm. 
long pedicel, obscurelj' 4-lobed, 5 to (i mm. in diameter at the mouth. Petals 4, 
free, siiborhicular-reniform, 4 mm. long, 4 to G mm. wide, glandular-punctate. 
Stamens indefinite; lilaments 7 to 8 mm. long; anthers O.G mm. long.
