longis, basi cuneatis, apice distincte acuminatis, nitidis, minu- 
tissime nigro-punctatis, nervis utrinque circiter 7, tenuibus : 
inflorescentiis terminalibus axillaribusque, e basi ramosis, cir- 
citer 4 cm longis; floribus circiter 1.5 cm diametro, calycibus 
infundibuliformibus, 6 mm longis, 4-lobatis. Petalis suborbicu- 
laribus, 5 mm diametro, perspicue punctatis. 
A glabrous tree, about 10 m high, the branches and branch- 
lets rather slender, terete, grayish. Leaves opposite or the 
lower ones subalternate, subcoriaceous, oblong-elliptic to elliptic- 
obovate, rather grayish and of about the same color on both sur- 
faces when dry, 8 to 11 cm long, 3 to 5 cm wide, the base cuneate, 
the apex distinctly acuminate, shining, the upper surface min- 
utely pitted, the lower surface distinctly glandular with minute 
black or nearly black glands ; lateral nerves about 7 on each side 
of the midrib, slender, not very prominent, arched-anastomos- 
ing, the reticulations nearly obsolete; petioles about 3 mm long. 
Inflorescences terminal and in the upper axils branched from the 
base, about 4 cm long, the lower branches usually spreading, 
each branch bearing 3 to 5 flowers, the ultimate branchlets 3 
mm long or less. Flowers white, about 1.5 cm in diameter. 
Calyx funnel-shaped, 6 mm long and wide, the lobes 4, somewhat 
reniform, 3 to 3.5 mm long, the lower 2 mm of the calyx-tube 
forming a short pseudostalk. Petals suborbicular, 5 mm in 
diameter, densely punctate. 
Mindanao, Davao Province, Santa Cruz, For. Bur. 275U0 
De Mesa, April 29, 1919. In rich soil at low altitudes with the 
local Tagakaolo name tula. 
This species is probably as closely allied to Eugenia bordenii 
Merr. as to any other described form and may be readily 
recognized by its minutely black-puncticulate glandular leaves. 
EUGENIA XIPHOPHYLLA sp. nov. § Jambosa. 
Arbor glabra, circiter 4 m alta, ramis ramulisque perspicue 
et acute 4-angulatis; foliis oppositis, lineari-lanceolatis, cori- 
aceis, in siccitate pallidis, nitidis, usque ad 40 cm longis et 
3 cm latis, utrinque subaequaliter angustatis, basi attenuatis, 
nervis numerosis, saltern 40 utrinque, prominentibus ; inflores- 
centiis terminalibus, longi pedicellatis, usque ad 15 cm longis, 
3-floris; floribus junioribus circiter 1.5 cm longis, alabastro 
obovoideo. 
A glabrous tree, about 12 m high, the branches and branchlets 
pale, smooth, sharply 4-angled, the sides concave, more or less 
thickened at the nodes, 5 to 8 mm in diameter. Leaves opposite,
