14 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. 
12. Ficus isophlebia Standley, sp. nov. 
Tree of medium size; young branches fulvous or brownish, glabrous; stipules 2 to 4 
-em. long, narrow, long-acuminate, firm, brown, glabrous; petioles stout, 3 to 4 cm. 
long, «labrous; leaf blades broadly obovate-oval or orbicular-obovate, 7 to 9.5 cm, 
long, 5 to 7 cm. wide, rounded and deeply emarginate at the 5-nerved base, broadly 
rounded at the apex, subcoriaceous, glabrous, bright green, concolorous, the costa 
prominent beneath, the lateral veins evident but scarcely elevated, 6 to 8 on each 
side, divergent at an angle of 50 to 60 degrees, nearly straight, arcuately anastomosing 
near the margin; receptacles geminate, sessile, attached laterally near the base, sub- 
globose, more or less laterally compressed, about 9 mm. in diameter, puberulent or 
glabrate, the ostiole prominent, closed by 3 dark brown scales; involucre covering 
and attached to the lower third of the receptacle, the free portion bilobate, the lobes 
very thin, rounded, glabrous or sparsely puberulent. 
Type in the U. 8. National Herbarium, no. 676949, collected in the vicinity of 
vid, Chiriquf, Panama, altitude 30 to 80 meters, February 25, 1911, by H. Pittier 
no. 2821). 
A specimen from Charco, Costa Rica, Jiménez 1001, is referred here doubtiully. 
Ficus isophlebia is related to F. jimenezit but differs in having the leaf blades deeply 
emarginate at the base and more conspicuously veined. The receptacles have an 
excentric point of attachment as in that species, but the point is basal rather than 
lateral. The few receptacles present on the type specimen, moreover, are not at all 
‘depressed. 
13. Ficus jimenezii Standley, sp. nov. 
Young branches grayish or fulvous, glabrous; stipules 1 to 1.5 cm. long, broad, 
acuminate, dark brown, grayish-puberulent outside, deciduous; petioles stout, 1.7 to 
3 cm. long, glabrous; leaf blades obovate-oval, oval, or oblong-obovate, 4.5 to 11 cm. 
long, 3.5 to 6 cm. wide, rounded or very obtuse at the base, not at all emarginate, 
broadly rounded at the apex, coriaceous, dull green, concolorous, glabrous, the 
costa coarse and slightly prominent beneath, the lateral veins very slender, 
immersed, 6 to 9 on each side, divergent at an angle of 55 to 80 degrees, arcuately 
anastomosing near the margin; receptacles geminate, sessile, attached laterally, 
depressed-globose, 5 to 8 mm. in diameter, glabrous or minutely puberulent, the 
ostiole prominent; involucre bilobate, the lobes broadly rounded, thin, minutely 
puberulent outside or glabrate. 
Type in the U. 8. National Herbarium, no. 861424, collected in the vicinity of 
San José, Costa Rica, November, 1910, by A. Tonduz and Otén Jiménez (no. 17536).

Ficus jimenezit is not very closely related to any Central American species heretofore 
published. It is remarkable for the strongly excentric attachment of the receptacles, 
these, although decidedly depressed, being so attached that their axis is parallel to 
that of the branch. The involucre is bilobate, but instead of being free from the 
receplacle, as in most species, it is firmly attached to it over a large portion of its 
surface.

Large tree; young branches stout, trigonous, rugose, glabrous; leaves approximate, 
the petioles subcompressed, 5 to 6 cm. long, striate, pubescent; stipules 5 cm. long, 
elongate, puberulent; leaf blades ovate or elongate-ovate, 20 to 30 cm. long, 14 to 
18 cm. wide, subcordate at the base and 7-nerved, subobtuse at the apex, bright green, 
Justrous and glabrous on the upper surface, beneath fulvous green, pubescent, fulvous-
