FICUS EDANOI sp. nov. § Husyce. 
Frutex suberectus, ramulis junioribus leviter pubescens, cortex 
tenuiter papyraceis, deciduis; foliis subcoriaceis, oblongis, 5 ad 
9 cm longis, obtusis, basi obtusis et plerumque leviter cordatis 
vel auriculatis, nervis utrinque 6 ad 8, perspicuis, brunneo-glan- 
dulosis vel punctatis; receptaculis solitariis, pedunculatis, ovoi- 
deis, glabris, circiter 8 mm longis, pedunculo 10 ad 12 mm longo, 
bracteis apicalibus 3, triangulari-ovatis, acuminatis, 1.5 mm 
longis. : : 
An erect or spreading shrub, the young branchlets and pedi- 
cels somewhat pubescent, otherwise glabrous, the branches and 
branchlets terete, the bark thin, papery, the outer layers loose, 
soon becoming detached in thin flakes. Leaves subcoriaceous, 
oblong, 5 to 9 cm long, 2 to 3.5 cm wide, rather pale when dry, 
the apex obtuse, base obtuse and usually slightly cordate or 
auriculate, the margins entire or obscurely undulate, both sur- 
faces smooth, the nerves 6 to 8 on each side of the midrib, brown 
in contrast to the pale lower surface, conspicuous, anastomosing, 
the reticulations distinct, under a lens distinctly brown-glandular 
or punctate; petioles 5 to 8 mm long; stipules deciduous, linear- 
lanceolate, slenderly acuminate up to 12 mm long. Receptacles 
axillary, solitary, ovoid, glabrous, about 8 mm long, brown when: 
dry, their peduncles 10 to 12 mm in length, somewhat pubescent, 
supplied at the apex with three, triangular-ovate, acuminate, 
slightly pubescent bracts, about 1.5 mm long. 
LUZON, Tayabas Province, near Mount Tulaog, Bur. Sci. 29130 
- Ramos & Edano, May 28, 1917, spreading on rocks near the sea. 
The alliance of this species is apparently with Ficus mearnsii 
Merr., from which it differs notably in its entirely differently 
shaped leaves. 
FICUS HAGGERI sp. nov. § Eusyce. 
Arbor circiter 20 m alta, glabra vel foliis minute scaberulis; 
foliis ovatis ad late elliptico-ovatis, leviter inaequilateralibus, 
usque ad 20 cm longis, integris breviter acuminatis, basi leviter 
oblique cordatis, nervis utrinque circiter 8; receptaculis axil- 
laribus et e axillis defoliatis, solitariis vel binis, pedunculatis, 
globosis, circiter 1 cm diametro, glabris vel minute scaberulis, 
basi 3-bracteatis. 
A tree, about 20 m high, quite glabrous, or the branchlets and 
leaves minutely scaberulous. Branches rather slender, terete, 
reddish-brown. Leaves alternate, ovate to broadly elliptic-ovate, 
18 to 20 cm long, 9 to 12 cm wide, entire, apex somewhat acumin-
