A PRELIMINARY REVISION OF PHILIPPINE MYRTAOEJE. 383 
cm long, its axes striate and at least the upper more or less angled, the 
flowers in threes at the apices of its branches, sessile or the terminal on 
pedicels 1-2 mm long: calyx-tube turbinate, 8-10 mm long, 5 mm wide 
below the apex, the truncate or subtruncate apex incurved, 3.5 mm wide: 
corolla before anthesis practically a continuation of the calyx, calyptrate ; 
stamens numerous, the filaments in the young flowers about 4 mm long, 
the anthers 0.7 mm long; style then less than 5 mm long; ovary 2-celled. 
Branches terete, covered with very thin papery smooth brownish-purple 
(when dry) bark: leaves with petioles 13-15 mm long, the lamina 
chartaceous, lanceolate, 19-22 cm long, 48-64 mm ivide, the base acutely 
acuminate, the margins strongly revolute, the apex subfalcate, one 
margin usually nearly straight, incurved on the other, forming a nearly 
acute acumen 3-5 cm long; primary lateral veins on each side of the 
midrib when viewed from beneath seem to be about 30, when viewed from 
above hardly more conspicuous than the intervening ones and seeming 
to be from 40 to 50; forming a slightly arched intramarginal vein but 
little within the incurved margins. 
Cuming 1049, localized on the sheet as from Albay Province, Luzon, but more 
likely from Zambales. The species is very distinct from anything else in the 
collection.

The Mariveles collections fall under E. leptantha, but that has been reduced to 
a variety of Roxburgh’s older species. For. Bur. 7132 has definitely broader 
flowers, but is otherwise closely allied, and For. Bur. 18432 is somewhat inter- 
mediate. 
Local names, Gamatulay (Negrito), Maramaotan and Cusaram (Cag.), all 
from Cagayan: Panglongbuyan-gangoan, Ilocos: Carra and doubtfully Malaruhat 
na puti, Bataan. 
Noted as a timber tree in Cagayan: Roxburgh notes this species as a useful 
timber tree in India.

66. Eugenia dementis sp. nov. 
Floribus terminalibus, in umbello composito dispositis, probabiliter 
cymosis, sessilibus, calycis tubo breviter campanulato basi longiter 
producto; lobis 4, parvis; petalis 4, parvis; staminibus circiter 30; ovario 
2-loculari : foliis oblongo-ellipticis, basi cuneatis decurrentibusque apice 
acuminatis. 
Flowers arranged in a terminal compound umbel, probably cymose, 
each inflorescence 4—6 cm long, more or less trichotomous, the rachis 
and its branches 4-angled : individual flowers without pedicels ; calyx in 
all 12-14 mm long, the pseudostalk usually definite, 9.5-12 mm long,
