11. Artocarpus leytensis Elm. Leaf. Philip. Bot. 1; 
279, 1908. 
A stocky erect tree, 10 m. high or higher, with a bole 
3 dm. in diameter; branches widely spreading, forming an 
umbrella shaped crown, the ultimate twigs rather thin, smcoth 
and grayish brown. Leaves few at the ends of the twigs 
only, flat, spreading, subcoriaceous, glabrous above except 
along the midnerve, shining green, much lighter green be- 
neath and short pubescent, oblong, the lower one half occasionally 
inequilateral and usually narrowed from above the middle, 
apex obtuse or ocute, the base rounded or only emarginate, 
the medium sized blades 15 em. long by 6 cm. wide, the 
entire magins subinvolute; petioles 1 cm. long, short rusty 
brown pubescent; nerves 5 to 7 on each side of the midrib, 
very prominent beneath, ascendingly curved, reticulations also 
conspicuous. Infrutescence in the leaf axils of the young twigs, 
subpendulous; peduncles 2 cm. long, fleshy, covered with a 
short, dense umber colored pubescence, longitudinally ridged 
when dry, gradually thickened toward the apex, usually solitary; 
fruits obovoid in general outline, but very irregular in shape, 
ours 2 em. across, usually only 1 to 5 sections developing 
< ipto seeds which are partially imbedded upon the 8 mm. thick 
fleshy corrugated receptacle; each of these sections bearing from 
1 to 5 cells enclosing solitary ovules, its outer walls leathery 
and covered with a short dark brown tomentum; the seeds 
surrounded by thin scarious membranes, 8 mm. long, ellipsoid 
or somewhat flattened, light brown, rugose. 
Only known from the type locality, Palo, Leyte, where it 
is a rather large hardwood tree. Its many yellowish red 
fruits give the tree a pretty appearance during the mcnth of 
January.
