Leariets OF PHILIPPINE BOTANY [Vou. II, ART. 26 
variegata Blm. 
Ficus integrifolia Elm. Leaf. Philip. Bot. 1; 61, 1906. 
Specimen 10215, A. D. E. Elmer, Dumaguete, Cuernos 
Mountains, Province of Negros Oriental, Negros, May, 1908, 
Moderately large tree in humid woods near the spring 
at 4000 feet. Very rare in our locality. Specimens from 
northern and middle Luzon vary as to the glabrous and 
pubescent conditions of both the under side of the leaves 
and receptacles. Very pubescent forms approach F, macropoda 
Miq., but that species has much smaller leaves. The leaves 
of my number 8487 from Benguet province, Luzon, exactly 
matches Cuming’s 1933 from the Philippines and on which 
Miquel based his species. 
Ficus garciae Elm. n. sp. 
Large tree, 15 m. high, with a widely spreading crown; 
the main branches large, the ultimate ones slender, the young 
portion subglabrous and yellowish; wood soft, dull white, 
light; bark thick, reddish except the rather smooth grayish 
coat. Leaves alternate, toward the ends of the twigs, sub- 
membranous, paler green beneath, variable in size, nearly 
flat, horizontally spreading, entire or the larger ones fre- 
quently coarsely toothed above the middle, glabrous, when 
dry dull brown above and greenish beneath, ovately elongat- 
ed or elliptic, the upper one half gradually tapering to the 
acuminate point, base obtuse or broadly rounded, never 
. cordate or even emarginate, the larger blades 2 dm. long, 
8 cm. wide; nerves much lighter in color, prominent be- 
neath, glabrous, divaricate, the 9 to 11 lateral pairs paral- 
lel, tips anastomosing, the basal pair arising from the base 
and ascending, cross bars faint; petiole slender, glabrous, 2 
to 5 em. long or longer; bud scale not exceeding 1 cm. 
in length, acuminate, finely cinereous through the middle 
portion of the back side, otherwise glabrous. 
Receptacles upon 2 to 5 em. long very rigid and branched 
woody tubercles, hanging in dense clusters, upon the 
larger limbs, 3 cm. in diameter, streaked with apple red 
from the apex, obovoid, apex flattened or shallowly depress- 
ed; peduncle 3 to 5 em. long, glabrous, bearing at the
