Ficus pyriformis, var. Abelii, King in Ann. Bot. Gard. Calc. i. p. 158, 
t. 200 4. 
Curva: without locality (Abel!). Herb. Kew. 
In this, and in some other instances, we bave not followed 
Sir George King in reducing the Chinese forms to Indian 
species, because it is more convenient for local purposes. 
2. Ficus altissima, Blume, Bijdr. p. 444; Mig. in Ann. Mus. 
Bot. Lugd.-Bat. iti. p. 285; King in Ann. Bot. Gard. Calc. i. 
P. 30, tt. 30, 31, et t. 82 s; Hook. f. Fl. Brit. Ind. v. p. 504. 
Ficus laccifera, Roxb. Fl. Ind. iii. p. 545; King, loc. cit. t. 30a;

i. p. 142, t. 178 a. 
Formosa: apparently common from Tamsui to South Cape 
(Oldham, 533, 534, 539, 540! Ford, 37! Playfair, 361! Wil- 
ford, 562! A. Henry, 130, 158, 245, 314 A, B, C, 964, 1794, 
1794 A, 2011!); Honeaxona (Wright! Harland !) ; Lucuv 
ARCHIPELAGO (Beechey!). Mus. Brit. ; Herb. Kew. l l 
While admitting the close affinity of this fig with Ficus 
erecta, Thunb., we do not follow King in reducing it, because it 
is so easily distinguished that it seems more convenient to keep 
them apart. 
4. Ficus Benjamina, Linn. Mant. p. 129 (excl. syn. Itti Alu, 
Rheede, Hort. Malab. i. t. 26, fide King in Ann. Bot. Gard. Calc.
