33342 Ramos, August 20, 1918, on forested slopes, altitude 
about 950 meters. 
In foliage characters this species closely resembles Eugenia 
speciosissima C. B. Rob., from whieh it is easily distinguished 
by its sharply 4-angled branchlets and its terminal flowers. 
EUGENIA SURIGAENSIS sp. nov. § Jambosa. 
Frutex glaber, ramis ramulisque teretibus; foliis coriaceis, 
oblongis ad oblongo-lanceolatis, basi late acutis ad rotundatis, 
sursum angustatis et leviter acuminatis, haud punctatis, ner- 
vis utrinque circiter 10, perspicuis; petiolo 2 ad 4 mm longo; 
floribus e ramis defoliatis, solitariis, vel pedunculis 3-floris, ca- 
lycis tubo turbinato, circiter 1.5 cm longo et usque ad 2 cm 
diametro. 
A glabrous shrub, the branches terete, grayish, rather rough, 
the branchlets pale brown, smooth, the ultimate ones 2 mm in 
diameter or less. Leaves coriaceous, oblong to oblong-lanceo- 
late, the base broadly acute to rounded, narrowed upward 
to the somewhat acuminate apex, brownish or olivaceous when 
dry, the lower surface paler than the upper and scarcely punc- 
tate; lateral nerves about 10 on each side of the midrib, promi- 
nent, anastomosing, the reticulations lax; petioles very stout, 
2 to 4 mm long. Flowers white, from the branches below the 
leaves, solitary or 3-flowered peduncles, the peduncles 1.5 
to 2.5 cm long, the pedicels about 1.5 cm long. Calyx-tube tur- 
binate, brown when dry, about 1.5 cm long, 1.5 to 2 cm in 
diameter, shallowly 4-lobed. Petals suborbicular, 1.5 mm in 
diameter. Fruit cup-shaped, 2.5 cm long and wide.

Pascasio, June 14, 1919, along streams at low altitudes at the 
iron deposit on the northeast coast. 
The alliance of this species is manifestly with Eugenia me- 
galantha C. B. Rob. of Palawan, from which it differs in its 
fewer-nerved leaves which are not glandular-punctate and be- 
neath, and in its shorter, very stout petioles. In Eugenia me - 
galantha the leaves are subequally narrowed to both ends, but 
in the present species they are wider below the middle and are 
gradually narrowed upward. 
EUGENIA TULA sp. nov § Jambosa. 
Arbor glabra, ramulis teretibus; foliis subcoriaceis, oblongo- 
ellipticis ad elliptico-obovatis, utrinque concoloribus, 8 ad 11 cm
