This species is iillied to the preceding, and in tiie preliminary work on the 
present paper it was considered to be the same as F. diUiiafa. On going over the 
material with Mr. Elmer, liowcver, it was found that the present species ditl'ered 
constantly from the preceding in its leaves being densely imbricated but not 
dilated at the base, the membranaceous margins narrower and attached along 
one side, leaving no free portion at the apex, and by its very dense syncarps 
and shorter fruits. It has again been collected by Mr. Elmer in southern Negros.

prominent basal auricles, and the margins of the leaves in the basal portions 
entire or subentire.
