LEAFLETS oF PHILIPPINE BOTANY [Vor. II, Art. 26 
A tall and widely spreading tree; wood pale white, 
conspicuously ringed; bark smooth, mottled, very freely bleed- 
ing a viscid milk colored fluid; branchlets slender, half 
drooping. Leaves spreading from the suberect green petioles, 
subcoriaceous, lucid dark green and a trifle conduplicate on 
the upper side, much duller beneath, tips recurved, the nerves 
greenish white. Figs sessile, solitary or in pairs from the 
leaf axils, globose, 1 cm. in diameter, yellowish green, but 
apparently turning reddish when fully mature; florets brown. 
Only one tree was observed along the Bonyao river at 
1000 feet. Previously only known by R. Meyer’s collection 
from the Lamao river, province of Bataan, Luzon, (Forestry 
Bureau record 2588). Its range outside the Philippines ex- 
tends over Java, Timar and Boeroe. The leaves of our spec- 
imens are ovate to cordate, not ovate to oblong, coriaceous 
not membranous and generally larger. The figs apparently 
are also larger, subtended by truncate or squarrose bracts, 
with a depressed umbilicus, not at all pointed. Known to 
the natives as ''Balitarhan." 
Ficus everettii Elm. n. sp. 
Large tree, 20 m. high; branches spreading, rigid; twigs 
glabrous, more or less angular. Leaves flat, rigid, alter- 
natingly arranged along the branchlets, 1 dm. long, 5 cm. 
wide, oblong to obovate, apex mostly rounded or occasional- 
ly obtuse, entire, base cuneate, lucid green, slightly paler be- 
neath, glabrous; midnerve very prominent beneath, grooved 
on the upper side, very pale green; the lateral ones rather 
fine, submarginally united, the lower pair arising from the base, 
about 7 pairs, although frequently secondary ones occur nearly 
as conspicuous, reticulations few and obscure; petiole glabrous, 
2 to 3 cm. long, stout, caniculate along the upper surface, 
becoming easily detached; bud scale 2.5 cm. long, nearly 
1 em. wide at the base, rigid, brown, glabrous, sharply 
acuminate. 
_ Receptacle sessile in the leaf axils, chiefly in pairs, the 
fully grown ones 2 cm. long and 12 mm. thick, oblongish 
in outline or obscurely pyriform or obovoid, both ends sim- 
ilarly subtruncate, suberect, the apex nearly always suboblique, 
smooth, hard, light pleasing red; umbilicus annular, yel-
