39. Eugenia leptogyna sp. nov. 
Inflorescentiis terminalibus vel subterminalibus, cymosis, floribus pedi- 
cellatis vel rarius sessilis; calycis tubo angusto, medio vel supra medium 
sensim incrassato, sub apice iterum angustato, apiee late divaricato, lobis 
4, rotimdatis ; petalis 4, liberis; disco evoluto; staminibus numerosis; 
foliis chartaceis, oblongo-lanceolatis vel lanceolatis, basi acutis, apice 
acuminatis; vends utrinque 15-18. 
Inflorescences terminal or subterminal, cymose, 5-9 cm long, 1-11- 
flowered, the individual flowers on pedicels 5-12 mm long, or sessile ; 
calyx- tube 15-21 mm long, at the base 1 mm or slightly more in diameter, 
in the middle or above the middle swollen to 2.5 mm, below the apex 
again contracted to 2 mm, near the apex widely spreading and about 8 
mm at the base of the lobes; lobes 4, widely rounded, 3.5-5 mm long, 
6-8 mm wide; petals 4, white, orbicular-ovate to oval, 8-10 mm in 
diameter ; disk present ; stamens numerous, the filaments about 2 cm long, 
the anthers nearly 1 mm long; style 3-3.5 cm long, persistent; ovary 
within the swollen portion of the calyx-tube,- 2-celled. 
A tree 25 m high, its trunk 32 cm in diameter, the somewhat slender 
branclilets covered with gray or brownish bark ; leaves with petioles 6-10 
mm long, the lamina ehartaceous, oblong-lanceolate or lanceolate, rarely 
oblong, 8-16 cm long, 2-5 cm wide, the base acute, the apex contracted 
into a somewhat slender obtuse acumen ; primary lateral veins on each side 
of the midrib 15-18, forming a definite submarginal vein and one or two 
fainter ones between it and the margin. 
Mindoro, south of Lake Naujan, in hill forests at 50 m elevation, For. Bur. 
6839 Merritt. Very remarkable among Philippines species for its very slender 
calyx-tube. 
The flowers are noted as very fragrant. 
Very closely related to E. cylindrica Wight. The figure of the latter in the 
leones pi. 528 may well stand for the present species except for the venation 
of the leaves, which is distinctly different, and said by Dutliie 10 to be very 
characteristic of the Indian species. I can not reconcile his description of the 
venation with the figure, and our species differs from both, there being two 
submarginal veins, not at all unusual in the genus, but the inner is very much 
nearer the margin than halfway. 
40. Eugenia sulcistyla sp. nov. 
Inflorescentiis terminalibus cymosis, alabastris ellipsoideis : calycis lobis 
4, rotundatis, stylis longitudinaliter sulcatis : foliis ellipticis, anguste 
ellipticis, oblanceolatis, vel ovalibus, basi acutis, apice acuminatis, venis 
utrinque 15-20. 
Cymes terminal, in late bud nearly 5 cm long, few-flowered, the pedicels 
3.5-13 mm long, with a pair of small inconspicuous bracteoles at the 
articulation with the flower: calyx-tube brown, 17 mm long, 7-8 mm 
wide at the base of the lobes, with them nearly ellipsoid in outline,
