and the inflorescence and flowers are also similar, but not identical. The flowers 
and the calyx-lobes of E. longiflora are much the larger, probably sufficiently so to 
hold the species distinct. Incidentally, the name E. lineata is not tenable for the 
Indo-Javan species, as it is preoccupied as such by E. lineata DC. Prodr. 3 (1828) 
273, a West Indian species, and as Myrthus lineata (liniuta) Blurne Bijdr. (1826) 
1087, is similarly antedated by the original of the latter, Myrtus lineata Sw. FI. 
Ind. Occid. (1800) 891. Assuming the correctness of the reduction by Ivoorders & 
Valeton, its oldest tenable name seems to be E. cerasiformis DC. Prodr. 3 ( 1828 ) 
274, based on Myrtus cerasiformis Blume Bijdr. (1826) 1088.

Inflorescentiis terminalibus vel subterminalibus, cymosis : calycis tubo 
turbinato, lobis 4, rotundatis; petalis liberis; staminibus n inner osis, 
antheris minutis : foliis ellipticis vel ovalibus, basi acntis, apice rotundatis 
vel breviter obtuse acuminatia ; venis utrinque 14-17. 
Cymes terminal, widely branched, many-flowered, 5-7 cm long, the 
individual flowers sessile or a few of them on pedicels 1-2 mm long : 
calyx-tube turbinate, 6. 5-7. 5 mm long, of which the basal half is greatly 
narrowed, 4-6 mm wide at the base of the lobes; calyx-lobes 4, rounded, 
1.5 mm long, 3-4 mm wide; petals 4, white, 4-5 mm in diameter, certainly 
usually free, possibly sometimes falling calyptrately ; disk thin ; stamens 
numerous, the filaments 8-9 mm long, the anthers 0.3 mm long; style 
about 1 cm long; ovary 2-celled. 
A small tree, attaining a height of 12 m and a trunk-diameter of 30 
cm, the branchlets covered with grayish to brownish bark: leaves with 
petioles 5-10 mm long, the lamina subcoriaceous, purplish-brown, elliptic, 
oblong-elliptic, oval, or obovate, 4.5-10.5 cm long, 2.5-8 cm wide, the base 
acute the apex rounded, retuse, or more often forming a very short and 
broadly obtuse acumen ; primary lateral veins on each side of the midrib 
14-17, often but little more conspicuous than some of the secondaries, 
forming a definite vein near the margin, and frequently an irregular 
much less conspicuous outer vein extending through the basal two-thirds 
of the leaf.

The type was collected on cliffs along the coast, Clark and Danao obtained 
their material in mangrove swamps, and the former reports the fruit as black and 
edible. 
Name given doubtfully from Negros as Malatampoy ; from Tinago as Palo 
Maria, which belongs to Calophyllum inophyllum.
