Blanco’s original description made no reference to the leaves, and their descrip- 
tion in the second edition as lanceolate with very short petioles helps but little. 
For none of the most probable species is the amended description entirely satis- 
factory. Villar considered it to agree best with E. javanica, but there is reason 
to suppose that his interpretation of that species was only partly correct, and 
while this identification is not improbable, it is probably wrong. This species is 
certainly that considered by Merrill to be E. lobas Blanco. That species was 
said by Blanco to be cultivated and only doubtfully indigenous: it is possible that 
it was the same as E. mananquil, the latter wild, the former in cultivation, but 
the facts are beyond discovery. Possible identifications, both for E. lobas and 
E. bauangica Blanco are E. malaccensis. Blanco’s E. jambos has been supposed 
to represent that species, but the probability is that it really was an error for 
E. javanica. The present species seems to be the one that best fits E. mananquil. 
Wood hard, used in the construction of houses, especially for posts. Berry 
edible.

It seems advisable to add a few additional data to the description given by 
Merrill l. c. 
Flowers in cymes 3-12 cm long, many cymes usually borne on each cauline 
tubercle, the peduncles and pedicels slender, about 0.5 mm in diameter, the cymes 
1-12-flowered, very rarely many-flowered and then with stouter peduncles, the 
flowers articulated, with a pair of small bracteoles at the point of articulation, 
flowers contracted into a pseudostalk 1.5-3 mm long. 
A tree 7-20 m high, with opposite leaves borne on petioles 2.5-7- mm long, 
the lamina elliptic, 7-15 cm long, 2. 5-5. 5 cm wide; lateral veins on each side 
of the midrib 8-13.
