LEAFLETS oF PHILIPPINE BOTANY (Vor. II, ART. 26 
number 7445 from Lucban, Tayabas province, Luzon. How- 
ever, the shape of the fruits of both these collections is similar- 
ly ellipsoid (ovoid?), not at all pyriform. F. apiocarpa Miq. 
is applied to the form with pear shaped figs, and to the 
other form Miguel applied the name F. tetangis. Possibly 
the two forms are specifically separable and that our Philip- 
pine species must be referred under the latter name. Our 
species in this locality is common at 2500 to 8500 feet, and 
is a powerful tree climber. 
4. PSEUDOPALMA. 
Ficus pseudopalma Bico. Fl. Filip. ed. 1; 680, 1837. 
Specimen 10818, A. D. E. Elmer, Dumaguete, Cuernos 
Mountains, Province of Negros Oriental, Negros, June, 1908. 
In shrubberies of hot dry ridges at 1200 feet. It is the 
rank coarse species of middle Luzon. I do not know F. 
haenkei Warb., which, if in this group, is the third Philip- 
pine species and the smallest of them all. 
5. SYCIDIUM. 
Ficus guyeri Elm. Leaf. Philip. Bot. 1; 196, 1906. 
Specimen 9460, A. D. E. Elmer, Dumaguete, Cuernos 
Mountains, Province of Negros Oriental, Negros, March, 1908. 
In damp dense woods at 4000 feet. Here not common. 
This also bears the vernacular name ''Pili." 
Ficus rudis Miq. Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. 3; 222 and 
291, 1863-9. 
Represented by 10144 and 10171, 4. D. E. Elmer, Duma- 
guete, Cuernos Mountains, Province of Negros Oriental, Negros, 
May, 1908. 
I should judge our specimens to be nearly typical. Out- 
side of Negros it has also been collected in southern Luzon, 
on the island of Ticao and in central Mindanao. Originally
