8 mm. in greatest diameter, the lobes broadly rounded, densely sericeous outside, 
brown within and glabrous; receptacles globose, 15 to 22 mm. in diameter, very 
densely whitish-sericeous with short hairs, the ostiole not prominent, closed by 3 
broad, rounded, dark brown scales; sepals dark ferruginous. 
Type Locatity: Yecoatla and Colipa, Veracruz. Type collected by Liebmann. 
SPECIMENS EXAMINED: 
TAMAULIPAS: Tampico, alt. 15 meters, 1910, Palmer 198 (N).

The type of Urostigma guatemalanum was cultivated at Berlin from material col- 
lected in Guatemala by Warscewicz. Liebmann describes the leaf bladesof Urostigma 
lapathifolium as being 21 to 25.5 em. long and 13 to 15 cm. wide, which is larger than 
in any specimens examined by the writer, although the proportions are the same. 
Otherwise his description agrees well with the specimens cited.

The leaves of Ficus ovalis resemble those of F. cotinifolia, but in that species the 
receptacles are sessile.
