protruded, yellowish red when mature, solitary in leaf axils, 
its small triangular basal bracts unequally inserted; peduncles 
slender, 1 em. long, usually recurved with its mature fruits, 
without braets at the base; gall and male flowers upon one 
set of receptacles, female only in another set; gall flowers 
pedieellate, 4 mm. long, obovoid, bearing a short sublateral 
style; subtending perianth segments 4, brownish red, oblance- 
olate, nearly equal; staminate flowers subsessile, few, 
concealed by the inner umbilical scales; single stamen as- 
sociated with a rudimentary pistil, enveloped by a similar 
perianth though only of 3 segments; filament 0.5 mm. long; 
anther broad, 1 mm. long, caudate; female flowers obovoid 
or ellipsoid, pedicellate, bearing a sublateral elongated style, its 
perianth usually of only 3 segments which are shorter and more 
unequal in length than in the other flowers; inner surface of 
the receptacle set with short entire triangular brown scales. 
This species according to King is allied to F. celebica 
Blm. Bijd. 471, 1825-6. It does not seem credible that Cuming’s 
specimen described by Miquel as F. lancifolia in Lond. Journ. 
Bot. 7; 452, 1848, can be identical with my specimen number 
8001 from the higher alpine limestone region near Baguio. 
Miquel’s species however, is nearer related to Blume’s F. cele- 
bica l c. 
3. F. irisana n. sp. An erect shrub, 4 m. high, with 
moderately hard wood and smooth reddish brown bark; branch- 
es rather numerous, ascending. Leaves ovate to obovate 
or semioblong, obscurely inequilateral, 5 to 8 cm. long, 3 to 5 
cm. wide, subcoriaceous, glabrous to pulverulent on both 
sides, lucid green on the upper surface, entire, base rounded 
with subequal halves, apex acute and frequently somewhat 
curved; primary as well as the secondary and transverse 
veins very prominent, the 3 to 5 pairs are strongly curved 
and submarginally connected; petioles 5 mm. long, brownish 
red, pulverulent. 
Ovoid receptacles 5 to 8 mm. in diameter, upon a slender 
5 mm. long peduncle, finely scabrous or pulverulent, dark 
yellowish red when mature, 1 to 3 from the leaf axils or in 
the axils of their scars, apex conical and with scales protrud- 
ing; bracts triangularly acute, irregularly inserted upon the
