A PRELIMINARY REVISION OF PHILIPPINE MYRTACEiE. 359 
Inflorescences terminal, or in the axils of present or fallen leaves, the 
peduncles not exceeding 1 cm in length or almost wanting, cymose, few- 
flowered, the individual flowers sessile, subtended by short bracteoles : 
calyx-tube 2-3 mm long, of which about the basal 1 mm forms a pseudo- 
stalk, 2. 5-3. 5 mm wide at the base of the lobes; calyx-lobes 4, somewhat 
unequal, 1.5-2 mm long, 2.5-3 mm wide, rounded; petals 4, suborbicular, 
about 2.5 mm in diameter ; stamens numerous, the filaments 2 mm long, 
the anthers 0.3 mm long; style 4-5 mm long; ovary 2-celled, few-ovuled. 
A small tree, its branches terete, the branchlets 4-angled, covered with 
gray bark : leaves with petioles not exceeding 3 mm long or subsessile, 
chartaceous, elliptic to elliptic-oblanceolate, 12-18 cm long, 4-7 cm wide, 
the base acute and decurrent, the apex rather abruptly contracted into 
a short acumen, brownish when dry, the under surface somewhat paler, 
glandular-dotted; primary lateral veins on each side of the midrib 11-15, 
immersed in the upper surface, projecting from the lower and distinct, 
purplish, forming a definite submarginal vein, or sometimes one or more 
of the most basal forming an outer vein ; secondary reticulation evident 
but more often inconspicuous.

Iiiflorescentiis axillaribus vel ramifloris, pedunculis pedicellisque brevis- 
simis; calycis tubo turbinato vel subrotato, lobis 4, rotunclatis; petalis 
liberis; disco evoluto; staminibus numerosis : foliis siibmembranaceis, 
ellipticis vel oblongo-lanceolatis, basi acutis, apiee anguste acuminatis; 
venis utrinque 8-14. 
Cymes greatly condensed, few- to several-flowered, axillary or on older 
branches, both peduncles and pedicels very short, never exceeding 3 mm : 
calyx-tube turbinate or subrotate, 4 mm long, 5-7 mm wide at the base 
of the lobes; calyx-lobes 4, 2.5—3 mm long, 3-3.5 mm wide, rounded at 
the apex; petals 4, free, orbicular-ovate, 3.5 nun long; disk well developed ; 
stamens numerous, the filaments about 5 mm long, anthers suborbicular, 
about 0.2 mm in diameter ; style nearly 1 cm long, ovary 2-celled. 
A tree 12 m high, with a trunk 30 cm in diameter, the branchlets 
covered with cinnamon-colored striate bark: leaves with petioles 5-10 
mm long, the lamina chartaceous, glandular-dotted, elliptic or oblong- 
lanceolate, 9-14 cm long, 3-6.5 cm wide, the base acuminately acute, the 
apex forming a slender but obtuse acumen 1-2 cm long ; primary lateral 
veins on each side of the midrib 8-14, the basal 2-4 not conspicuously 
uniting with the more apical ones and therefore not aiding to form the 
submarginal vein.

type, but there seems to be no essential difference. E. rubrivenia is also very 
close, but differs by its paler bark, nearly sessile leaves, and sessile flowers.
