LEAFLETS OF PHILIPPINE BoTANY (Vor. II, AnT. 2 
Warb., but how the latter species differs from F. heteropoda 
Miq. still remains obscure to me. Possibly both of them must 
in time be referred to Miquel’s name. 
2. UROSTIGMA. 
Ficus indica Lini. Sp. Pl. ed. 2, pt. 2; 1514 (in part), 
1762-3. z 
Specimen: 10153, . A. D. E. Elmer, Dumaguete, Cuernos 
Mountains, Province of Negros Oriental, Negros, May, 1908. 
A big lofty tree with large spreading branches in damp 
woods near a spring at 4000 feet.. These are the least typical 
specimens I have ever collected in the Philippine Islands. 
Only one tree was observed. 
Ficus hallieri Merr. in herbarium, -Bureau of Science. 
Specimen 10142, A. D. E. Elmer, Dumaguete, Cuernos 
Mountains, Province of Negros Oriental, Negros, May, 1908. 
Large tree, with widely spreading branches, ultimate 
branches rather slender and lax. Leaves coriaceous, flat, sub- 
horizontally spreading, dark green above, much paler beneath, 
the conspicuous veins. yellowish white. Figs ascending, usual- 
ly in pairs from the leaf axils, yellowish green when collect- 
ed with light colored spots beneath the fuzzy pubescence, 
globose, 9 em. thiek. 
Rare in deep gorges. of the Reaves river at 3000 feet. 
This species belongs to the F. chrysolepis Miq. group. 
It is very near if not identical with my number 9375 from 
Lucban, province of Tayabas, Luzon, and which in the 
Leaflets on page 246 I erroneously referred to F. malunuensis 
Warb. The latter species has affinities to F. gigantifolia Merr. 
Type specimen collected by Dr. H. Hallier, San Ramon, 
Province of Zamboanga, Mindanao, February, 1904. Named 
after the discoverer.
