petioles 5 to 8 mm long. Infructescences terminal, corymbose, 
branched from the base, 6 to 9 cm long, up to 7 cm wide across 
the nearly flat top, the branches and branchlets usually 4-angled 
or at least sulcate. Fruit obovoid to globose, brown when dry, 
smooth, up to 8 mm in diameter, sessile or jointed on very short 
pedicels which are in turn jointed to the usually short branchlets, 
usually but one or at most two on each ultimate branchlet.

This species is well characterized by its prominently punctate, 
slenderly caudate-acuminate leaves. It belongs in the group 
with Eugenia mindorensis C. B. Rob., but differs from that 
species in numerous other points than those just indicated. 
EUGENIA CONSANGUINEA sp. nov. § Syzygium. 
Species E. brittonianae C. B. Rob. affinis, differt foliis major- 
ibus, usque ad 12 cm longis, nervis lateralibus magis numerosis, 
utrinque circiter 15, floribus paullo minoribus et omnibus 
breviter pedieellatis. 
A tree, about 8 m high, entirely glabrous, the branches and 
branchlets terete, brown, smooth. Leaves oblong to oblong- 
lanceolate, coriaceous, not punctate, 8 to 12 cm long, 2.5 to 4 
cm wide, apex prominently acuminate, the acumen obtuse, base 
acute, the upper surface dark-brown when dry, slightly shining, 
the lower pale-brown; primary lateral nerves about 15 on each 
side of the midrib, very prominent on the lower surface, irreg- 
ular, nearly straight, anastomosing with the almost equally 
prominent and slightly arcuate marginal nerves 2 to 3 mm from 
the edge of the leaf, the reticulations lax, indistinct; petioles 2 
to 5 mm long. Panicles terminal, usually shortly peduncled, 
about 6 cm long, 6 to 8 cm wide, the lower branches up to 4.5 
cm in length, the branches, branchlets, and pedicels terete or 
nearly so, the pedicels stout, 2 mm long or less. Flowers white, 
all shortly pedicelled, in triads on the ultimate branchlets. 
Calyx-tube turbinate, dark-brown when dry, about 4 mm long, 
nearly smooth, terete, narrowed below, the apex with four, 
very short, obscure, broad, rounded lobes. Petals united into 
a calyptra about 3 mm in diameter. Fruits globose, about 12 
mm in diameter, smooth, dark-brown when dry, crowned by the 
short calyx-tube.
