Marca 15, 1909] SYNOPSIS OF ARTOCARPUS 615 
stipules caducous, 1.5 to 2 dm. long, linear oblong or some 
gradually tapering from the broad base, glabrous, deep brown 
on the dorsal side, glaucous brown on the ventral, 2.5 to 4 em. 
wide near the base. Young female heads subtended by 15 em. 
long zrabrous yellowish green smooth caducous bracts, greenish 
within the bud bracts, but soon turning brownish and finally to 
coal black; perianth of female flower 4 mm. long, the upper 2 
mm. not confluent, angular, more or less truncately obovoid, 
covered with dense hispid excrescences, 1.5 mm. wide near the 
apex; style glabrous, forked at the throat of the perianth 
tube; anthocarps linearly clavate, nearly 2 em. long, united 
except the 3 mm. long pyramidally conical point which is

Type specimen 9795, A. D. E. Elmer, Dumaguete, Cuer- 
nos Mountains, Province of Negros Oriental, Negros, April, 1908. 
Sr. R. Garcia collected at Zamboanga, Mindanao, a larger 
leaved form with nerves at least pubescent beneath. My 
specimen number 9097 from Palo, Leyte, may be a stami- 
nate specimen of this same species but with leaves the least 
of all incised. In the type locality it is represented by only 
a few trees; one in the town limits of Dumaguete near the. 
sea coast, one on the road to Luzuriaga at 600 feet eleva- — 
tion, and the stately tree at 2500 feet from which our speci,  - 
mens were gathered. The branchlets are comparatively nu. 
merous, the foliage ample, and the leaves remind one of > 
large incised oak or maple leaves. The black fruits are also 
plentiful, hanging from the leaf axils and displaying a vivid 
color contrast to the foliage. Fruits not edible. The wood 
is classed as very durable. The Visayans call it '"Togop" - 
but they also apply the same name to A. treculiana Em.
