FICUS Linnaeus 

 FICUS MYRIOCARPA Miq. Ann. Mus. Bot. Lugd. Bat. 3 (1867) 230. 



Amboina, Nontetoe, and Negri lama, Rel. Robins. 1687, 1688, July and 

 September, 1913, along small streams, at low altitudes, locally known as 

 tulan babi. 



A most characteristic species, known only from Amboina. 



FICUS VILLOSA Blume Bijdr. (1825) 441. 



Amboina, Way tommo, Rel. Robins. 1677, August 17, 1913, climbing 

 on Ficus trees, altitude 45 meters, locally known as tali mera. 



Malay Peninsula and Archipelago to the Philippines. 



FICUS CONGESTA Roxb. Fl. Ind. ed. 2, 3 (1832) 560. 



Amboina, Negri lama, Rel. Robins. 1690, in light forests, altitude about 

 20 meters, locally known as gohi batu. 



A species manifestly closely allied to the Philippine Ficus nota (Blanco) k 

 Merr. It was originally described from Amboina specimens cultivated in 

 the botanic garden at Calcutta. King includes it in the doubtful and 

 imperfectly known species. 7 The Amboina specimens agree fairly well 

 with Roxburgh's description and with the figure given by Wight, Ic. t. 6H- 



FICUS AURITA Reinw. ex Blume Bijdr. (1825) 462. 



Amboina, Halong and Way tommo, Rel. Robins. 1679, 1689, August, 

 September, 1913, along river banks, altitude 10 to 40 meters. 



A most characteristic species known definitely only from Amboina, but 

 reported from New Guinea, and also from the "Moluccas," although Rein- 

 wardt's original specimen probably came from Amboina. 



FICUS UROPHYLLA Wall. Cat. (1831) no. 4483. 



Amboina, Hitoemoeri road, Rel. Robins. 1683, September 30, 1913, in 

 light forests, altitude about 150 meters. 



The specimen is referable to this widely distributed Indo-Malayan species 

 as it is interpreted by King. 



FICUS RET USA Linn. var. NIT I DA King in Ann. Bot. Gard. Calcutta 

 1 (1888) 51. 

 Amboina, near Castle Victoria, town of Amboina, Rel. Robins. 1678, 

 September 13, 1913, locally known as waringin. 



FICUS RIGESCENS Miq. Ann. Mus. Bot. Lugd. Bat. 3 (1867) 278. 



Amboina, Kati-kati, Rel. Robins. 167U, October 7, 1913, in light forests, 

 altitude 80 meters, locally known as tapialu. 



Ficus rigescens Miq. was described from Amboina material, and has 

 been reduced to Fiscus ramentacea Roxb.; however, I consider that it 

 represents a valid species, distinct from the form described by Roxburgh. 



FICUS RIGIDA Blume Bijdr. (1825) 465. 

 Ficus gibbosa Blume Bijdr. (1825) 466. 



Amboina, Eri, Rel. Robins. 1686, September 22, 1913, along the seashore. 



The specimen is not quite identical with the Javan form but is probably 

 referable to this species.
