The vernacular name in Costa Rica is given as ‘‘higuer6n” and “‘higuerén colorado,” 
the latter referring, presumably, to a red fruit. The receptacles of the Panama tree 
are said to be yellow. 
21. Ficus kellermanii Standley, sp. nov. 
Young branches grayish or yellowish brown, at first sparsely pilose but soon glab- 
rate; stipules 1 to 2 cm. long, broad, thin, brown, puberulent outside or glabrous, 
deciduous; petioles 1.5 to 3 cm. long, stout, glabrous; leaf blades oval-oblong, obovate- 
oval, or oval, 5 to 14 cm. long, 3 to 8 cm. wide, rounded and usually emarginate or 
subcordate at the base, 5-nerved, rounded at the apex, coriaceous, concolorous, 
usually lustrous on the upper surface and glabrous or nearly so, beneath short-hir- 
tellous, especially along the veins, or glabrate, the veins prominent beneath, the 
lateral ones 4 to 7 on each side, divergent at an angle of 45 to 55 degrees, straight 
or slightly arcuate, arcuately anastomosing near the margin; receptacles geminate, 
sessile, globose, 8 to 10 mm. in diameter, glabrous, the ostiole small, rather prominent, 
closed by 2 dark brown scales; involucre bilobate, about 5 mm. long, inconspicuous, 
the lobes rounded, sparsely sericeous or glabrate. 
Type in the U. 8. National Herbarium, no. 578685, collected at El Rancho, Depart- 
ment of Jalapa, Guatemala, January 6, 1906, by W. A. Kellerman (no. 5595). 
ADDITIONAL SPECIMENS EXAMINED: 
GuateMALA: El Rancho, April, 1902, Cook 812 (N). Sanarate, Department of 
Guatemala, January, 1906, Kellerman 5902 (N). Casillas, Department of 
Santa Rosa, alt. 1,300 meters, May, 1893, Heyde & Lux (J. D. Smith, no. 
4588) (N, G). Santa Rosa, alt. 1,000 meters, May, 1892, Heyde & Lux 
(J. D. Smith, no. 2983) (G). Lake Amatitlin, alt. 1,200 meters, January, 
1906, Kellerman 5059 (N). 
The native name is given by Cook as ‘‘capulfn amate.”’ 
The Heyde and Lux collections were distributed as Ficus lapathifolia and F, hart- 
wegii. The former species has much larger, pedunculate receptacles. Ficus hart- 
wegii is a very different plant, native to Colombia. 
Ficus kellermanii is most closely related to F’. cotinifolia, but that species has dull 
leaf blades and conspicuous involucres half as long as the receptacles or even longer.
