92. Eugenia mindorensis sp. nov. 
Inflorescentiis terminalibus vel subterminalibus, flonbus sessilibus in 
triadibus racemose dispositis: calycis tubo turbinato, margine superiore 
undulato ; corolla calyptrata : foliis coriaceis, ellipticis vel elliptico-lance- 
olatis, basi acutis, apice acuminatis; venis utrinque 15-18, concoloribus. 
Inflorescences terminal or in the upper axils, the axes rather stout, 
terete, 2.5-5 cm long, the flowers in threes, white with an odor resembling 
that of dandelions, sessile or on extremely short pedicels, the triads race- 
mosely arranged : calyx-tube turbinate, 7 mm long, 2 mm in diameter at 
the apex and nearly 2 mm at the base, extending 4 mm beyond the ovary, 
its upper margin forming shallow undulations rather than lobes; corolla 
calyptrate; stamens numerous, the filaments 1-1.3 cm long, the anthers 
0.5 mm long; style about 1 cm long; ovary thick-walled, 2-celled, several- 
ovuled. 
A tree attaining a height of 18 m and a trunk-diameter of 30 cm, its 
terete branches covered with gray or cinnamon-gray bark : leaves with 
petioles 8-12 mm long, the lamina coriaceous, elliptic or elliptic-lance- 
olate, 5-10 cm long, 2. 5-4.5 cm wide, the base acutely acuminate and 
decurrent, the margin barely revolute, the apex gradually contracted and 
forming an obtuse or subacute acumen about 1 cm long; primary lateral 
veins on each side of the midrib 15-18, thin but distinct on the lower 
surface, usually less distinct on the upper, somewhat irregularly forking 
and anastomosing, slightly paler than the mesophyll, their apices forming 
a definite vein about 1 mm within the margin.

94. Eugenia polycephaloides sp. nov. 
Inflorescentiis ramifloris, divaricato-cymosis ; calycis tubo turbinato, 
lobis 4 ; petalis liberis vel fere calyptratis, 4, albis ; staminibus numerosis : 
foliis breviter petiolatis vel subsessilibus, oblanceolatis vel ellipticis, 
mediocris, admodum coriaceis, basi acuminatis, lente cordatis, apice obtuse 
acuminatis; venis utrinque 14-18. 
Inflorescences borne on the branches below the leaves, dichotomously 
and trichotomously cymose, usually widely divaricate, 5-10 cm long, 7-13 
cm wide, common peduncle 1 cm long or shorter or none; bracts similar 
to the bracteoles; flowers usually in threes, the individual ones sessile, 
subtended by two decussate pairs of ovate or suborbicular bracteoles 2-3 
mm long: calyx-tube turbinate, 5-5.5 mm long, 4-5 mm wide at the base
