The collections from the latter islands do not quite agree with the type, the 
submarginal vein being somewhat more distinct, and the branches of the in- 
florescence shorter. The differences, however, are merely matters of degree, and 
are not considered to justify specific separation, in the light of present evidence. 
It is probable that For. Bur. 7548 Hutchinson, from the Island of Dinagat, is 
also referable here. The collection has mature white fruit, while that of E. glau- 
cicalyx is still unknown. The species closely approaches E. zeylanica (Linn.) 
Wight, and may prove inseparable from it.

63. Eugenia paucivenia sp. nov. 
Inflorescentiis terminalibus, paniculato-cymosis, fioribus sessilibus vel 
rarius breviter pedicellatis : calycis tubo turbinato, lobis brevissimis ; 
corolla calyptrata: foliis sessilibus vel subsessilibus, coriaceis, obovatis 
vel subellipticis, basi breviter auriculatis, margine revolutis, apice rotun- 
datis vel obscure vel brevissime lateque acuminatis; venis ut.rinque 5-8. 
Cymes terminal, 4-6 cm long, trichotomously forked, their branches 
rather stout, angled and striate ; individual flowers white, mostly in triads, 
sessile or rarely on pedicels not more than 1.5 mm long; very short 
bracteoles present at the forks of the inflorescence: calyx-tube turbinate, 
6.5-8 mm long, extending about 3 mm beyond the ovary, 4 mm wide at 
the apex; the upper margin forming 4 broadly rounded inconspicuous 
undulations; corolla calyptrate, but separable into 4 petals about 4 mm 
in diameter ; disk thin ; stamens numerous, their filaments about 6 mm 
long, anthers 0.4 mm long, gland-tipped; style about 1 cm long; ovary 
with comparatively thick walls, 2-celled, several-ovuled. 
A tree 7-8 m high, its trunk about 15 cm in diameter, the branches 
covered with brownish bark, becoming grayish on the branchlets : leaves 
sessile or very shortly petioled, the lamina obovate to nearly elliptic in 
outline, 4. 5-7. 5 cm long, 22-36 mm wide, the base auriculate or rounded 
or forming a very short acumen from just before its junction with the 
petiole, the margin revolute, the apex rounded or obscurely or very 
broadly and shortly acuminate, the upper surface shining, the under 
surface dull; primary lateral veins on each side of the midrib 5-7, 
evident on both surfaces, less often Avith some of the intermediate veins 
nearly as prominent, forming a definite submarginal vein with a short 
loop-like external vein from the extreme base not reaching the middle of 
the leaf and usually much shorter.
