VIII. c, 5 Merrill: Plantae Weyizelianae 355 
subobtusis, 3-nerviis, apice subcaudato-acuminatis, margine ir- 
regulariter repando-serratis, in siccitate pallidis, nitidis, nervis 
utrinque circiter 10, subtus valde prominentibus ; receptaculis 
globosis, aurantiacis, scabridis, pedunculatis, axillaribus, fasci- 
culatis, circiter 1 cm diametro, 
A shrub about 1.5 m high. Branches terete, pale-brownish, the 
ultimate ones 2 to 2.5 mm in diameter, minutely scabrid. Leaves 
alternate, equilateral, ratjier distant, oblong to narrowly oblong- 
ovate, 15 to 20 cm long, 3.5 to 7 cm wide, rather gradually 
narrowed upward to the subcaudate-acuminate apex, the acumen 
minutely apiculate, 1.5 to 2 cm long, the base rounded or some- 
what obtuse, equilateral, 3-nerved, the margins unequally repand- 
dentate, the teeth broad, short, 5 to 10 mm apart, sinuses often 
obscure, both surfaces minutely scabrid, when dry pale, somewhat 
shining; lateral nerves about 10 on each side of the midrib, very 
prominent on the lower surface, curved, anastombsing near the 
margin, the reticulations subparallel, prominent; petioles densely 
scabrid, 2 to 3 mm long; stipules linear, acuminate, scabrid, 
about 7 mm long. Receptacles fascicled, axillary, 1 to 5 in each 
axil, the peduncles rather stout, 3 to 5 mm long, scabrid, the 
basal bracts few, broadly triangular, the apical 3 forming a 
whorl at the base of the receptacle, broadly triangular, acute, 
about 1 mm long, wider than long, margins ciliate-hispid ; 
receptacles globose, about 1 cm in diameter, yellow, scabrid. 
Fertile female flowers numerous, sessile or subsessile, the ovary 
broadly ovoid to ovoid, somewhat inequilateral, 1.2 mm long, 
rounded at the apex, the style at the angle or distinctly lateral, 
slender, 1 to 1.8 mm long. 
Leyte, Dagami, C. A. Wenzel 5^, March 15, 1913, in forests near small 
streams. 
Presumably belonging in the section Sycidium, although the male flowers 
have not been seen. The species is manifestly allied to the ulmifolia 
(sinuosa) group, but has equilateral leaves which are prominently acumi- 
nate, and somewhat smaller receptacles than has Ficus ulmifolia Lam. 
FICUS PACHYPHYLLA sp. nov. (§ Urostigma.) 
Species F. callophyllae Bl. ut videtur valde affinis, omnibus 
partibus glabris ; foliis crasse coriaceis, oblongis ad ellipticis, 10 
ad 15 cm longis, breviter late obtuseque acuminatis, basi 3-pliner- 
viis, subtus minutissime dense puncticulatis ; nervis primariis ■ 
utrinque circiter 12; receptaculis axillaribus, sessilibus, globosis, 
1.3 ad 1.5 cm diametro, in siccitate valde laxe rugosis, bracteis 
persistentibus, late ovatis, circiter 1 cm longis.
