A glabrous tree about 15 m high, the branches and branchlets 
slender, terete, grayish or brownish, the former about 2 mm in 
diameter. Leaves opposite, subcoriaceous, oblong to oblong- 
elliptic, 7 to 10 cm long, 2 to 4 cm wide, subequally narrowed 
to the distinctly acuminate apex and the acute or decurrent- 
acuminate base, not punctate, the upper surface subolivaceous, 
shining, the lower paler; primary lateral nerves about 20 on 
each side of the midrib, slender but distinct on both surfaces and 
scarcely more prominent than are the secondary ones and the 
reticulations, nearly straight, somewhat ascending, anasto- 
mosing with the slender marginal vein about 1 mm from the 
edge of the leaf; petioles 1 to 1.5 cm long. Panicles axillary, 
lax, rather few-flowered, about 6 cm long, peduncled or branched 
from or near the base, the branches spreading or ascending, 
the lower ones about 3 cm long. Flowers mostly in triads at 
the tips of the ultimate branchlets, sometimes five on a branch- 
let, all sessile, ebracteolate, cylindric, the calyces about 7 mm 
long, brown when dry, gradually narrowed in the lower two- 
thirds, about 1.8 mm in diameter above, truncate. Petals united 
into a deciduous calyptra about 1.5 mm in diameter.

This species, dedicated to Luis Nee, one of the botanists of 
the Malaspina Expedition, belongs in the group with Eugenia 
clavellata Merr., but is entirely different in its vegetative 
characters as well as in its inflorescences and in its calyx-tubes 
not being abruptly enlarged at the tip.
