citer 15, tenuibus, adscendentibus ; inflorescentiis terminalibus, 
paniculatis, usque ad 12 cm longis, pedunculatis vel e basi ra- 
mosis, plerumque trichotomis; floribus 5-meris, circiter 3 cm 
longis, in ramulis ultimis subfasciculatis, sessilibus vel brevis- 
sime pedicellatis, calycibus truncatis, obconicis. 
A glabrous tree, about 18 m high, the branches and branch- 
lets grayish-brown, terete, or the branchlets somewhat com- 
pressed. Leaves opposite, subsessile or very shortly petiolate, 
thickly coriaceous, oblong or narrowly oblong-elliptic, 5 to 7.5 cm 
long, 1.5 to 2.7 cm wide, apex obtuse to rounded, base obtuse, 
margins somewhat cartilaginous, pale and shining when dry, 
both surfaces usually sparingly and obscurely puncticulate, the 
glands sometimes evident only near the midrib and margins; 
lateral nerves about 15 on each side of the midrib, slender, not 
prominent, ascending, anastomosing close to the margin, the 
secondary ones nearly as distinct. Panicles terminal, up to 12 
cm long, peduncled or branched from the base, mostly trichoto- 
mously branched, the branches and branchlets wrinkled and 
somewhat angular when dry, the flowers sessile or subsessile, 
three to five at the tip of each ultimate branchlet, the brac- 
teoles obsolete or minute and very early deciduous. Flowers 
white, 5-merous, about 3 cm long in anthesis. Calyx about 14 
mm long, 8 mm in diameter at the throat, terete, narrowed 
below, truncate or with about 5 very broad, short, obscure, 
irregular lobes. Petals 5, free, suborbicular, 5 to 6 mm in 
diameter. Stamens indefinite, their filaments 8 to 14 mm long.

Ramos, March 13, 1917, at low altitudes. 
A very characteristic species not closely resembling any other 
form known to me. It is well characterized by its thickly co- 
riaceous, oblong to narrowly oblong-elliptic, pale, subsessile 
leaves with obtuse to rounded tips and obtuse bases, and, 
among those species with truncate calyx-tubes, its relatively 
large, 5-merous flowers. 
EUGENIA PANAYENSIS sp. nov. § Jambosa. 
Arbor glabra, Eugenia spedosissimae affinis, differt floribus 
brevissime pedicellatis, albis, nervis lateralibus paucioribus. 
Ramis ramulisque teretibus. Foliis coriaceis, oblongis ad oblon- 
go-ovatis, sessilibus vel brevissime petiolatis, acuminatis, basi 
perspicue cordatis, nervis utrinque 8 vel 9, subtus valde per- 
spicuis ; floribus terminalibus et lateralibus, solitariis, brevissime 
pedicellatis, 4 ad 5 cm diametro.
