A PRELIMINARY REVISION OF PHILIPPINE MYRTACEflE. 385 
dull-green or the upper somewhat shining, gland-dotted beneath ; primary 
lateral veins on each side of the midrib 20 or more, thin, and difficult to 
trace toward the extremes of the leaf, the intramarginal vein best seen 
from the upper surface as beneath it is concealed or nearly concealed by 
the revolute leaf-margins.

Of Philippine species this is most similar to E. claviflora, from which its 
inflorescence is sufficient to distinguish it: a much nearer ally is E. attenuata 
Miq., from which, judging by the description, it seems to be separated by its rather 
larger leaves and flowers and the greater extent of its ovary-cavity. 
Local name, Magcusison. 
69. Eugenia atropunctata sp. nov. 
Inflorescentiis in axillis defoliatis, paniculato-cymosis, floribus in tria- 
dibus clispositis, sessilibus, parvis : alabastris subglobosis, calycis lobis 4, 
brevibus ; petalis liberis : f oliis chartaceis, oblanceolatis rarius ellipticis 
vel oblongis, basi acute acuminatis, apice in acumen brevem obtusum 
angustatis ; venis utrinque 12—16. 
Inflorescences on the branches below the leaves, 2-5 cm long, solitary 
or fascicled, trichotomously panieulately branched, the individual flowers 
mostly in threes, sessile, the bractlets varying from lanceolate to ovate 
and mucronate and attaining a length of nearly 1 mm : flowers about 
2.5 mm long, the buds subglobose or obovoid-globose ; calyx-tube about 
half the total length of the flower, becoming nearly flat after antlresis, 
turbinate, about 2.3 mm in diameter at the apex, the lobes 4, obtuse, 
about 0.7 mm long and 1 mm wide at the base, persistent often in early 
fruit; petals free, suborbicular, 1.6-2 mm long, 2 mm wide; stamens 
numerous, the filaments 3 mm long, the anthers 0.4 mm long; style 
1.5 mm long; ovary 2-celled. 
A tree, its branches covered with dark-gray bark, that of the rather 
slender terete branchlets paler; leaves with petioles 4-12 mm long, the 
lamina chartaceous, oblanceolate rarely elliptic or oblong, 4-13 cm long, 
2-4.2 cm wide, acute or acutely acuminate at the base, decurrent upon 
the petiole, the margins slightly revolute, at the apex contracted into 
an obtuse acumen 5-10 mm long, when dry the upper surface usually 
reddish-brown, the lower surface brown and rather densely dotted with 
minute black glands; primary lateral veins on each side of the midrib 
12-16, exsertecl on both surfaces and distinct though rather slender, 
much more conspicuous than the secondary articulations, their extremities 
forming a definite vein near the margin and a very faint outer vein.
