370 The Philippine Journal of Science 1922 
Leaves ovate to elliptic, subcoriaceous, 6 to 10°em long, 3 to 5 
em wide, rather pale when dry, glabrous, shining, the- base 
broadly acute to rounded, the apex rather abruptly subcaudate- 
acuminate, the acumen up to 1 cm in length, rather slender, 
obtuse to acute; lateral nerves numerous, spreading, parallel, ° 
the secondary ones practically as prominent as the primary ones, 
anastomosing close to the edge of the leaf and forming a very 
Slender, somewhat arched, marginal nerve, 1 to 2 mm from the 
edge of the leaf; petioles 8 to 15 mm long, not j ointed, pubescent 
when young, ultimately glabrous, slender, rather deeply channeled 
on the upper surface; stipules narrowly lanceolate, 1.5 cm long, 
glabrous or nearly so, slenderly acuminate. Receptacles globose 
to ovoid, axillary, sessile, densely and softly cinereous-pubescent, 
solitary or in pairs, 8 to 12 mm in diameter, the subtending. 
bracts usually 2, pubescent, 2 to 3 mm long, 4 to 8 mm wide, | 
the ostiole obscure. Staminate flowers few, scattered, the 
perianth segments 3, spatulate, brown, 2 mm long; anthers 
about 0.6 mm long. Fertile female flowers numerous, their 
perianth segments similar to those of the staminate flowers, the 
ovary subellipsoid, about 1 mm long, rounded; styles slender, 2 
mm long. Gall flowers similar to the fertile female ones except 
that the styles are wanting or very short. Bracteoles linear, 
about 2 mm long. 
Luzon, Laguna Province, Los Bafios, F. X. Williams s. n., and 
For. Bur. 28480. Salvosa, June, 1921, from the same tree. In 
forests along Molauin River near the College of Agriculture, 
altitude about 120 meters, growing on Bischofia javanica Blume. 
This species is dedicated to Mr. Francis Xavier Williams, ento- 
mologist of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters’ Experiment Station, 
who also collected botanical material from the same tree. Mr. 
Williams has devoted a considerable amount of time to a study of 
the Philippine fig insects with the view to their possible introduc- 
tion into Hawaii. It is at once distinguished from Ficus benja- 
mina Linn., which it closely resembles, by its densely pubescent 
receptacles. 
FICUS KALINGAENSIS sp. nov. § Covellia. 
Species F. myriocarpae Mig. affinis differt foliis basi truncato- 
rotundatis, haud cordatis, receptaculis majoribus, longiter 
pedunculatis. 
A tree about 5 m high, the branches reddish-brown, wrinkled, 
glabrous, the very young branchlets supplied with scattered, 
spreading, slender, rather stiff hairs up to 6 mm in length.
