the ovary, at least 1 mm. long, slightly thicker and deeper 
brown toward the apex; secondary gall flowers more nu- 
merous, sessile, clustered about the primary ones; its perianth 
lighter brown, of 8 pieces, 4 mm. long, the upper one half 
extending into very slender tails; yellowish ovary flattened, 
oblong, 1.25 mm. long, 0.75 mm. wide; style very slender, 
yellowish brown except the slightly thickened brown stigmatic 
portion, lateral, 3 to 4 mm. long. 
Type specimen 10032, A. D. E. Elmer, Dumaguete, Cuer- 
nos Mountains, Province of Negros Oriental, Negros, May, 
1908. 
First collected near the town of Palo, Mindoro, by Sr. 
R. Garcia, May, 1903. The only other typical specimens so 
far known from the Philippines is my own number 6866, 
collected in the woods on the trail one half mile above 
camp two, mount Mariveles, province of Bataan, Luzon, 
November, 1904. It is similar to the type of F. similis Merr. 
collected by R. Meyer, (Forestry Bureau record 3013 not 3081). 
but that species has smaller less coriaceous leaves; bracts 
only one half as long; and figs barely one half as large. 
Discovered in wooded ravines along the Bonyao river at 2500 
feet. The tree is rather slender, with few but widely spread- 
ing branches. Flowers male and gall only, although of the 
latter there are two distinct types. It therefore belongs to 
Eusyce rather than to Urostigma to which F. similis Merr. 
was referred and to which our species is allied. 
8. NEOMORPHE. 
Ficus variegata Blm. Bijd. 459, 1825. 
Specimen 10170, A. D. E. Elmer, Dumaguete, Cuernos . 
Mountains, Province of Negros Oriental, Negros, May, 1908. 
Scattered here and there as large trees with long ashy 
gray boles in ravines of light woods at 2000 feet altitude. 
The fruit is 3 to 5 times as large as in F, latsoni Elm., 
is differently shaped and instead of turning to a deep yellow 
always remains green or a pale green. Between F. nodosa 
Teysm., F. roxburghii Wall. and F. variegata Blm., it. agrees 
most closely with the latter species or to some of the other 
allied species considered by Dr. RN as synonyms of F.
