when dry? the lower surface somewhat paler than the upper and 
distinctly glandular-puncticulate ; primary lateral nerves about 
15 on each side of the midrib, slender, scarcely more prominent 
than are the secondary ones and the reticulations, anastomos- 
ing with the slender marginal nerves about 1 mm from the 
edge of the leaf ; petioles 1.5 to 2 cm long. Panicles solitary in 
the uppermost axils and fascicled at the tips of the branchlets, 
about 6 cm long, subracemose, the flowers white, sessile or sub- 
sessile in triads at the tips of the ultimate branchlets, form- 
ing a rather dense corymblike inflorescence. Calyx-tube cy- 
iindric, pale when dry, about 12 mm long and 6 mm in diameter, 
gradually narrowed to the base, the lobes 4, shallow, about 4 
mm wide and 1.5 mm long. Calyptra about 6 mm in diameter, 
the petals separable with difficulty, the outer ones broadly ovate, 
the inner obovate. Stamens indefinite; filaments 9 to 15 mm 
long. Style about 15 mm long.

300 meters. 
In vegetative characters and general appearance, this species 
closely approximates Eugenia wenzelii Merr., but is totally dif- 
ferent in its floral structure, although the calyx-tubes are similar 
in both. It is distinguished at once by its 4, broad, short calyx- 
teeth and by its very much longer filaments. 
EUGENIA SANTOSI I sp. nov. § Jambosa. 
Arbor glaberrima usque ad 18 m alta, ramis ramulisque tere- 
tibus, griseis; foliis crasse coriaceis, ovatis ad oblongo-ovatis, 
usque ad 8 cm longis, in siccitate utrinque pallidis, nitidis, sub- 
tus obscure glandulosis, margine perspicue revolutis, apice 
tenuiter caudato-acuminatis, basi longe decurrento-acuminatis, 
nervis utrinque tenuibus, distinctis, circiter 15; inflorescentiis 
terminalibus axillaribusque, pedunculatis, corymbosis, usque 
ad 6 cm longis, ramis ramulisque crassis, angulatis vel com- 
pressis, ramulis ultimis brevissimis, saepissime, flores 3 sessiles 
gerentibus; calycis tubo circiter 6 mm longo, apice circiter 4.5 
mm diametro, deorsum angustato, obscurissime 4-lobato, vetus- 
tioribus plus minusve eroso; petalis liberis, circiter 3 mm 
diametro. 
An entirely glabrous tree, 15 to 18 m high, the branches and 
branchlets terete, grayish or sometimes slightly brownish, near- 
ly smooth. Leaves thickly coriaceous, pale and shining on 
both surfaces when dry, ovate to oblong-ovate, 6 to 8 cm long.
