PHILIPPINE ISLANDS. Luzon: “circa Manillam," Hugh Cuming (No. 
1017, type of C. obovata, ex Trécul). 
is is a widely distributed and very variable species. Forms described by 
Trécul as C. obovata with rather broadly obovate leaves seem to be as frequent as 
the small-leaved forms Hance had in mind in describing C. rectispina. The young 
branches and petioles (or even the ribs of the leaves) are often more or less yellow- 
ish hairy, but sometimes the whole plant, except the peduncles and flower parts, ap- 
pears to be quite glabrous. The variation seems to be due to climatic conditions. 
Cudrania crenata C. H. Wright in Jour. Linn. Soc. XXVI. 439 (1894). 
Wan Hainan: without precise locality, A. Henry (No. 8389, type, c? ex 
right). 
According to the author this species is distinguished by its crenately serrate 
leaves, which are obovate and up to 10 cm. long and 5 em. broad, with very 
Short petioles. "This, perhaps, is not a Cudrania at all.

CHINA. Hongkong: “Torrent de la Baie du Télégraphe prés Béthanie,” 
January 14, 1896, E. Bodinier (No. 1413, type). 
According to the author this species is related to C. rectispina Hance. I have 
seen only two leaves which Mgr. Léveillé kindly sent to the Arnold Arboretum. 
They are elliptic and somewhat hairy on the midrib on both sides. I am not 
quite sure if this is a Cudrania.

* The Ficus of China need a thorough investigation. Being unable to make a 
special study of this difficult genus, I can give only approximate determinations 
according to King’s monograph and Hemsley’s enumeration.
