unequal, 3.5-5 mm long, 5 mm wide, eiliate; petals 4, free, white, G mm 
long, 4-5 mm wide, rounded at the apex, eiliate; disk more or less pubes- 
cent, of the diameter of the calyx-tube; stamens numerous, the filaments 
4-5 mm long, the anthers about 1 mm long; style 6 mm long; ovary 
2-eelled; fruit edible, subglobose, 2.5 cm in diameter, crowned by the 
persistent calyx-lobes, 1-celled, 1-seeded; the testa horny, the cotyledons 
lunate in outline, 13 mm across the chord. 
A slender tree, sometimes tall, the branches covered with gray bark, 
the youngest shoots pubescent but soon becoming glabrous : leaves with 
petioles 3-7 mm long, the lamina chartaceous, elliptic to orbicular or 
obovate, 6.5-12 cm long, 3-5.5 cm wide, acutely acuminate at the base, 
the margins slightly revolute, the apex contracted into a short obtuse 
acumen, glands widely separated, not conspicuous except on young leaves ; 
primary lateral veins on each side of the midrib, 7-9, their apices usually 
forming three submarginal veins, the intervening venation usually in- 
conspicuous.

of Surigao, Surigao, Ahern 518: District of Zamboanga, Tetuan, Ahern 561.

2. Eugenia loheri sp. nov. 
Floribus solitariis vel binis, axillaribus vel saepius supraaxillaribus, 
hand magnis, medioeriter pedicellatis, pedicellis floribusque -pubeseenti- 
bus : ealycis tubo turbinato, lobis 4, quam tubus longioribus ; petalis 4, 
liberis; staminibus numerosis; ovario 1- vel 2-loculari : foliis brevissime 
petiolatis, membranaceis, lanceolatis vel rarius subellipticis, basi acutis, 
apice in acumen obtusum productis. 
Flowers most often borne a little above the axils, solitary or rarely 
paired, upon villose pedicels 5-10 mm long, having at their apices a pair 
of ovate bracteoles 1 mm long, subacute at the apex, white-villose espe- 
cially along the central line and margins : calyx-tube turbinate, 2 mm long, 
3 mm wide at the base of the lobes, villose; calyx-lobes 4, oblong, 3-4 
mm long, 2 mm wide, the apex nearly truncate but rounded, the margins 
eiliate ;■ petals 4, free, broadly oval to orbicular, 2.5-3 mm long; calyx- 
lobes and petals veined and bearing fairly numerous, conspicuous, tuber- 
culate glands; disk occupying the whole diameter of the calyx-tube, pubes- 
cent; stamens numerous, the filaments 1.5-3 mm long, the anthers 0.4 
mm long, the connectives more or less densely villose; style 3 mm long; 
ovary 1-celled or more often 2-celled, each cell containing several ovules. 
Habit unknown ; the bark covering the slender branchlets grayish- 
brown, tending to separate easily : leaves with petioles 1-2 mm long, the 
lamina membranaceous, densely glandular, lanceolate, narrowly lanceolate 
or rarely subelliptic, 2.5-5 cm long, 8-18 mm wide, the base acute, the
