20. Eugenia fenicis sp. nov. 
Floribus caulinis, cymosis, tetrameris, pedicellatis, articulatis, ovario 
1-3-loculari ; foliis ellipticis, basi aeutis, apice cauclatis. 
Flowers borne on tubercles on the stem, these sometimes also bearing 
leafy shoots, cymose, 1-5-flowered, the total length of the fascicle includ- 
ing the styles attaining 8 cm, the ultimate pedicels 7.5-15 mm long, 
nearly terete and of equal diameter throughout, conspicuously articulated 
with the flowers and bearing at the point of articulation a pair of incon- 
spicuous bracteoles : flowering specimens unknown : fruiting calyx in all 
2.3 cm long, urceolate, 1.8 cm in diameter at the apex of the tube, which 
projects about 5 mm beyond the ovary, at the base forming a short 
pseuclostalk 3 mm long and of slightly greater diameter; calyx-lobes 4, 
distant, unequal, the larger 7 mm long and 8-8.5 mm wide, the smaller 
3.5 mm long, and 6 mm wide; the staminal disk thickened, stamens fallen, 
but judging from the scars probably about 300 ; ovary with exterior walls 
1 mm in thickness, 1— 3-celled, in the last case one cell as large as the 
other two together; seed from a 1 -celled ovary oval in outline, compressed, 
8 mm long, 6 mm wide; style 3—3.5 cm long. 
A tree 8-9 m high, with a trunk 15 cm in diameter, covered with 
smooth reddish-gray bark, the ultimate branches with grayish or brownish 
bark, terete or at the apex somewhat angled ; leaves borne on petioles 
3-5 mm long and 2-2.5 mm in diameter, the lamina rather narrowly 
elliptic, 9.5-18 cm long, 2.8-5. 5 cm wide, acute at the base, caudate- 
acuminate at the apex, olivaceous on the upper surface, grayish on the 
under surface; primary lateral veins 9-12, along with the submarginal 
vein conspicuous on both surfaces, but other venation hardly ever visible 
on either surface. 
Babuyanes Islands, Camiguin Island. Bur. Sci. 4065 Fenix. Close to E. whit- 
fordii, as represented by Bur. Sci. 6169, which has much larger leaves than the 
earlier collections of that species; distinguished by its caudate leaf-apex and 
thickened petioles.
