90. Eugenia intumescens sp. nov. 
Inflorescentiis terminalibus vel in foliorum superiorum axillis, cymoso- 
paniculatis, rhachide saepissime erassa : calycis tubo turbinato, lobis 4 ; 
petalis, 4, liberis ; staminibns numerosis : foliis sessilibus vel subsessilibus, 
coriaceis, ellipticis, oblanceolatis, vel obovatis, basi cordatis, apice aeu- 
minatis; venis utrinque 12-18. 
Inflorescences cymose-panicnlate, terminal or less often in the axils of 
the uppermost leaves, 9-17 cm long, attaining a width of 10 cm but 
usually less, the rachis and its branches 4-angled, often very stout ( 5 mm 
wide), the bracts lanceolate, acute or subacute, often foliaceous, even 2.5 
cm long; flowers mostly clustered at the ends of the branches of the rachis, 
usually three together, the individual flowers sessile, surrounded by two 
decussate pairs of ovate bracteoles 2-3 mm long: calyx-tube turbinate, 
4-5 mm long, 5-6 mm wide at the base of the lobes, projecting about 
3 mm beyond the ovary; calyx-lobes 4, rounded, 1.5-3 mm long, 2-3 
mm wide ; petals 4, free or very slightly attached at their bases, orbicular- 
ovate; staminal disk thin; stamens numerous, the filaments about 6 mm 
long, the anthers 0.5 mm long; style 6 mm long, at anthesis nearly 
hidden by the stamens; ovary 2-celled. 
A tall tree, its branchlets 4-angled or nearly terete, not or obscurely 
winged, the dry bark purplish or brown ; leaves sessile or with petioles 
attaining a length of 5 mm; the coriaceous lamina elliptic, oblanceolate 
or obovate, 10-23 cm long, 5-11 cm wide, the base shallowly cordate, the 
apex narrowed into a short and comparatively slender obtuse acumen; 
primary lateral veins on each side of the midrib 12-18, forming a distinct 
submarginal vein, upper surface of the lamina purplish-brown, shining, 
the under surface, with the exception of the veins, much paler, green to 
brown.

Local names, Malaruhat, Zambales; Dugan, Rizal; Eagoho, Masbate. The 
last two look like mistakes for Tarrietia sylvatica (Dungon) , and Casuarina 
equisetifolia (Agoho) , respectively, both very different.
