DECEMBER 28, 1908] A FascicLE or Souta Nxanos Fias 551 
distal end 3 very small acute bracts; flowers apparently only 
fertile female, 3 mm. long, the basal 1.5 mm. pedunculate; 
the peduncle subtended by linear lanceolate, dark brown, rath- 
er rigid bracts which are either solitary and free or 3 and more 
or less united at the base, frequently unequal in width and length; 
. Ovary proper 1.5 min. long, obovoid, dark brown, sessile, 
at the base subtended by 2 or 3 subfalcate linear and sharp- 
ly pointed 0.75 mm. long bracteoles; style arising from the 
middle of the ovary side, 1.5 mm. long, rather straight, 
the basalone half very slender and brown, clavately thicken-

Type specimen 9486, A. D. E. Elmer, Dumaguete, Cuer- 
nos Mountains, Province of Negros Oriental, Negros, March, 
1908. 
Tree, with widely spreading main branches, in light 
woods at 3000 feet. Only known from two other Luzon 
collections of my distributions: 8835 from Baguio, Benguet 
province and 9379 from Lucban, Tayabas province. 
In the Leaflets on page 260 I considered it F. glomerata 
Roxb., but the leavesin our Philippine form are long peti- 
oled, not subsemicordate, nor cuspidate, and not particularly 
rough on the upper side. Fruits not upon long, procumbent 
or drooping decompound, cauline, leafless branches. Bark of 
the young shoots not rough nor hairy. Named with pleasure, 
after Sr. S. Garcia, who has discovered quite a number of 
Philippine plants new to science. Known to the Visayan as - 
'"Talo-ot". For description of male and gall flowers see 
page 261 of the Leaflets based on the number 9379 and in said 
article referred to F. glomerata Roxb. It is exactly this species.
