ficult to distinguish F. hauili Blco., F. benguetensis Merr., 
F. lucbanensis Elm., but mature fruits, especially in the fresh 
state, separate them at once. The two varieties are more 
difficult to distinguish. A more distant relative of F. ben- 
guetensis Merr, is F. carpenteriana Elm. of Leyte and Mindanao. 
6. COVELLIA. 
Ficus minahassae Miq. in Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. 3; 
231 and 296, 1836-9. 
Specimen 10213, A. D. E. Elmer, Dumaguete, Cuernos 
Mountains, Province of Negros Oriental, Negros, May, 1908. 
In my opinion, this very oddly characteristic species 
should be relegated into a monotypic section. So far, we 
know of no other species that resembles it in the least. 
Ficus satterthwaitei Elm. Leaf. Philip. Bot. 1; 199, 
1906. 
Represented by numbers 9469, 9863 and 10211, A. D. 
E. Elmer, Dumaguete, Cuernos Mountains, Province of Negros 
Oriental, Negros, March, April and. May respectively, 1908. 
Quite common here from 1500 to 2500 feet altitude. 
Variable as 9863 will indicate when compared with 7181 
from Eastern Leyte, the type locality. So far not known 
from other localities. Locsl name ‘‘Tabugoi.’’ 
Ficus heteropoda Miq. Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. 3; 232, 1867. 
Specimen 10431, A. D. E. Elmer, Dumaguete, Province 
of Negros Oriental, Negros, June, 1908. 
* Dr. Warburg distinguishes his  F. blepharostoma . from 
this species by the alternate leaves and axillary fruits. . It 
was previously collected by me in eastern Leyte and should 
not be confused with Warburg’s species. Here at. Dumaguete, 
ss in Leyte, it was found along the coast. 
Ficus cervina Elm. n. sp. aR 188) 
Tree, 7 m. high; branches laxly spreading, those of the 
comparatively short and numerous twigs clothed with yellowish 
brown hairs; wood white, soft, light; bark mostly gray. Leaves 
subchartaceous, flat, somewhat descending, with strongly recurved
