FICUS HENSCHELII sp. nov. § Eusyce. 



Arbor circiter 8 m alta ramulis junioribus petiolis pedicellis- 

 que adpresse villosis; foliis alternis, chartaceis vel submembra- 

 naceis, integris, nitidis, usque ad 20 cm longis, oblongo-ovatis 

 ad elliptico-ovatis, prominente acuminatis, basi rotundatis, 

 nervis utrinque 6, subtus prominentibus ; receptaculis obovoideis, 

 circiter 1 cm longis, parcissime pubescentibus, pedicellis 

 subaequilongis. 



A tree about 8 m high, the young branchlets, petioles, and 

 pedicels appressed-villous with pale-brownish hairs. Branches 

 reddish-brown, terete, glabrous. Leaves alternate, chartaceous or 

 submembranaceous, oblong-ovate to elliptic-ovate, entire, smooth, 

 18 to 20 cm long, 9 to 10 cm wide, prominently acuminate, the 

 'acumen stout, blunt, 1.5 to 2 cm long, base rounded, somewhat 3- 

 nerved, the upper surface somewhat olivaceous, shining, the lower 

 slightly paler, sparingly pubescent on the midrib and lateral 

 nerves; nerves 6 on each side of the midrib, prominent on the 

 lower surface, anastomosing, the primary reticulations lax, dis- 

 tant, subparallel; petioles 3.5 to 5 cm long; stipules lanceolate, 

 acuminate, densely pubescent, about 1 cm long. Receptacles in 

 the axils of fallen leaves, mostly in pairs, obovate, about 1 cm 

 long, apex rounded, base somewhat narrowed, externally smooth 

 and rather pale when dry, very sparingly pubescent with scat- 

 tered appressed hairs, the pedicels appressed-villous, about as long 

 as the receptacles, the three bracteoles at the apex about 1.5 mm 

 long.

 altitude about 250 meters. 



A species in the group with Ficus alba Reinw., apparently most closely 

 allied to the Philippine species Ficus camiguinensis Merr. Dedicated to 

 Dr. A. G. E. T. Henschel, author of "Vita G. E. Rumphii, Plinii indici, 

 accedunt specimen materiae Rumphianae medicae clavisque herbarii et 

 thesuarii amboinensis" (1833). 



FICUS HASSKARLII sp. nov. § Eusyce. 



Arbor circiter 6 m alta, species praecedente similis et affinis, 

 differt foliis minoribus, usque ad 12 cm longis, tenuiterque acu- 

 minatis, petiolis multo brevioribus, receptaculis globosis. 



A tree about 6 m high, the younger branchlets, petioles, and 

 pedicels appressed subferruginous-villous. Branches terete, 

 dark reddish-brown, smooth or somewhat wrinkled when dry. 

 Leaves alternate, chartaceous, pale-olivaceous, oblong to oblong- 

 ovate, 7 to 12 cm long, 3 to 6 cm wide, entire, base rounded or 

 somewhat cordate, apex slenderly and acutely acuminate; lateral 

 nerves 6 to 8 on each side of the midrib, prominent on the
