This species seems well distinct from E. acuminatissima by its essentially dif- 
ferent venation; it is closely allied to E. perpallida, from which it is most easily 
separated by the characters indicated in the key. The Palawan collections have in 
general larger and wider leaves than the type, attaining 85 by 32 mm, but they 
seem to intergrade well with the most typical material. For. Bur. 8359 is atypic, 
having leaves hardly at all acuminate.

This includes three more or less intergrading series, the first well represented 
by the type of E. cumingiana, a second formed by the collections from Benguet, 
Zambales, Tayabas, and For. Bur. 11/91/, from Rizal, distinguished by having the 
under surface of the leaves very conspicuously glandular; while For. Bur. 1/32, 
from Rizal, and some of the Lanao specimens have much wider leaves, often 
showing two submarginal veins. There seems to be no sufficient reason for 
separating them specifically. 
The Philippine material has been compared with Javan specimens, taken from 
trees in cultivation at Buitenzorg, and with a sheet from the Andaman Islands, 
Dr. Pram’s collector 85, a duplicate from the Botanic Gardens at Calcutta, all 
distributed as E. acuminatissima Kurz, and there can be no doubt that Merrill’s 
reduction of E. cumingiana is correct. But the former name had already been 
used in Eugenia for two other species, though one does not belong to this genus : 
the other is apparently valid. It has been necessary, in consequence, to accept 
Miquel’s specific name as the oldest tenable one, the synonymy being taken from 
Koorders and Valeton.
