This proposed genus in most essential characters is very similar and 
manifestly closely allied to Beccarianthus Cogn., of which two species are 
known, one from Borneo and one from Mindanao. The type of that 
genus, Beccarianthus pulcher Cogn., has 5-nerved leaves and long-papillose 
branchlets and inflorescences. The Mindanao species, B. ickisii Merr., has 
7- or 9-nerved leaves, the younger parts only sparingly papillose. Everettia 
is not at all papillose, but the young branches, lower surfaces of the leaves 
and the inflorescences are densely covered with brown furfuraceous scales, 
which may disappear to a large extent in very old leaves. The ^eaves in 
their venation are entirely different from those of Beccarianthus, having 
a prominent midrib and a single pair of intramarginal or submarginal 
nerves extending from the base to the apex, at most 5 mm distant from 
the margin of the leaf, usually much nearer this, and about as prominent 
as the spreading horizontal nerves which connect the midrib with the 
marginal ones. 
The genus is dedicated to Mr. H. D. Everett, formerly a forester in 
the Phlippine Bureau of Forestry, and who made extensive botanical collec- 
tions in Negros. 
In May, 1908, Mr. Everett, accompanied by Mr. T. R. Wakely, an 
American teacher, and the following Filipinos, Messrs. J. Leaho, R. Leano, 
and J. Aman, the first two rangers in the Forestry Bureau, started 
on a trip across southern Negros. The entire party was killed by the 
wild people of the interior, in the mountains back of Bayauan, on or 
about May 11, 1908. Nonarrival of the party led to a search being made, 
with the result that their remains were found at the place where they 
were killed. The remains were brought to Manila and interred in the 
Cementerio del Norte, where a suitable monument has been erected to the 
memory of all members of the ill-fated expedition.
