16. Eugenia angulata sp. nov. 
Inflorescentiis terminalibus, axillaribus, vel etiam foliis subtus suffultis, 
peduneulis pedieellisque brevissimis vel null is : lloribus parvis, calyels 
tubo turbinato vel fere obconico : foliis breviter petiolatis, lanceolatis vel 
anguste ellipticis, basi leviter eordatis, apice attenuatis acuminatis, venis 
utrinque 15-20. 
Inflorescences terminal, axillary, and on the branches below the leaves, 
the peduncles wanting or attaining 4 mm in length, the pedicels entirely 
wanting or very short, rarely in all 1 cm long: calyx-tube ranging from 
obconic to nearly turbinate, extending 4-5 mm beyond the ovary, about 
7 mm long, at the base of the lobes 6-7 mm in diameter, the 4 lobes 
unequal, 2-4 mm long, 3-6 mm wide at the base, all rounded at the apex ; 
disk thickened; petals 4, 4-6 mm long; stamens probably numerous, the 
few seen with filaments only 4-6 mm long and anthers less than 0.5 mm 
long; style 12-15 mm long; ovary 2 -celled, with several ovules. 
A tree about 7.5 m high, its trunk 10 cm in diameter, covered with 
smooth pinkish-gray bark, the branehlets with gray bark, more or less 
angled and somewhat margined : leaves with petioles 2-3 mm long, the 
lamina, cliartaceous, lanceolate, elliptic-lanceolate, or narrowly elliptic, 
16-24 cm long, 3-5 cm wide, the base slightly cordate, narrowed at the 
apex to a slender obtuse acumen; primary lateral veins on each side of 
the midrib 15-20, frequently with intermediate veins nearly as distinct, 
the secondary venation only loosely anastomosing, and on the upper 
surface inconspicuous, a very definite submarginal vein present. 
Mindanao, District of Zamboanga, Sax River. Williams 2164 (type) : Lake 
Lanao. Camp Keithley, Mrs. Clemens s. n. The latter specimen is responsible for 
most of the variation in the inflorescence. The species is far from the one with 
most strongly angled stems even among Philippine Eugenias, but the name is 
used partly in default of a better available one. partly to call attention to its 
close alliance to E. sexangulata Miq., from which it is sufficiently distinguished 
by its inflorescence.
