27. Eugenia subfoetida sp. nov. 
Infiorescentiis teiminalibus vel lateralibus, brevibus, paucifloris: calycis 
tubo turbinato ; lobis 4, rotundatis : foliis subcoriaceis, lanceolatis, basi 
acutis decurrentibusque, apice subcaudato-acuminatis ; venis utrinque 
10 - 12 . 
Cymes terminal or axillary, 1-3-flowered, only 1 cm long, excluding 
the style, peduncles present but not more than 2 mm long, individual 
flowers sessile or with very short pedicels, subtended by ovate bracteoles 
less than 1 mm long but comparatively conspicuous ; calyx-tube turbinate, 
3 mm long, 3.5-4 mm wide at the base of the lobes; calyx-lobes 4, rounded, 
3-3.5 mm long, 3-5 mm wide; petals 4, free, orbicular-ovate, 4 mm long; 
disk present; stamens numerous, the filaments 6-8 mm long, the anthers 
suborbicular, only 0.2 mm in diameter; style 1 cm long; ovary 2-celled, 
its walls containing an unusually well-defined row of oil-glands. 
A tree 10 m high, with a trunk 10 cm in diameter, its branchlets 
covered with gray or brownish bark : leaves with petioles 2-3 mm long, 
the lamina subcoriaceous, lanceolate, 9-13 cm long, 3-4 cm wide, the 
base acute and decurrent on the petiole almost to its insertion, the apex 
contracted into a very slender acumen ; primary lateral veins on each side 
of the midrib 10-12, forming a very definite submarginal vein from base 
to apex, but none of the veins more than barely visible on the upper 
surface.

In spite of the small size of the calyx-lobes, which are usually only 7-8 mm 
long, they are broadly rounded, and in all other respects the plant is a typical 
Jambosa, and clearly allied to the species with which it is here placed. The 
petals are entirely separate, but early deciduous. 
Allied to E. paucipunctata Koord. & Val., from which it is easily distinguished 
by its much fewer and larger flowers. 
Endemic.
