44. Eugenia triphylla sp. nov. 
Inflorescentiis axillaribus, brevissimis, trifloris: floribus magnis, tetra- 
meris; foliis brevissime petiolatis, laneeolatis, anguste elliptieis, vel ob- 
lanceolatis, basi acutis, decurrentibus, apice obtuse vel saepius subacute 
acuminatis, venis utrinque 15-20. 
Inflorescence axillary, the peduncles 2 mm long, pedicels none or coal- 
esced with the peduncle; calyx-tube campanulate, 1.3 cm long, 2 cm wide 
at the base of the lobes; calyx-lobes 4, 3-6 mm long, about 1 cm wide; 
petals 4, pink, nearly orbicular, slightly exceeding 1 cm in diameter; 
stamens very numerous, the white filaments attaining a length of 2.5 cm, 
the anthers about 0.8 mm long; style nearly 4 cm long. 
A tree 10 m high, the branchlets covered with gray or yellowish bark, 
below terete, near the apices more or less angled; leaves in threes, with 
petioles 0.5-2 mm long, lamina subeoriaceous, lanceolate, narrowly ellip- 
tic, or oblanceolate, 4-9 cm long, 1-2.5 cm wide, the base acute, sometimes 
spatulate, decurrent, the apex acuminate, sometimes obtusely, more often 
subacutely; primary lateral veins on each side of the midrib 15-20, not 
very prominent, forming a somewhat faint but definite vein close to the 
involute margins. 
Basilan, banks of Basilan River, at 150 m elevation, For. Bur. 3971 Hutch- 
inson. 
Very similar to E. xanthophylla, but apparently distinguished not only by the 
number of the leaves, but also by having somewhat larger flowers without pedicels, 
and by the venation of the leaves. 
Local name, Tubaltubal. 
45. Eugenia everettii sp. nov. 
Floribus terminalibus, solitariis vel paucis, tetrameris, magnis; sepalis 
valde inaequalibus ; petalis liberis; disco stamineo crasso; staminibus 
numerosissimis, filamentis teneribus ; ovario 2-loculari : foliis laneeolatis 
vel ellipticis, breviter petiolatis, chartaceis, basi acutis, apice subacute 
acuminatis; venis utrinque 8-12. 
Cymes terminal at the apex of the larger or of short lateral branchlets, 
1-3-flowered, peduncles and pedicels almost or entirely wanting: flower- 
buds nearly ovoid to turbinate; calyx-tube 1.1-1. 5 cm long at anthesis, 
and over 1 cm wide at the base of the Jobes, extending 6 mm or more
