DECEMBER 10, 1906] A FascicLe or East LEYTE FIGs 197 
syconium, so pronounced in our specimen, is apparently 
wholly lacking in F. fastigiata Elm. The author has also 
collected it in the provinces of Sorsogon and Tayabas of 
Luzon. Again, it is closely allied to F. acuminatissima Miq. 
which however has pubescent receptacles, leaves and young 
twigs. Named for Mr. H. E. Guyer, a teacher in Leyte. 
15. F. carpenteriana n. sp.—An erect 4 m. high tree 
with few divaricately spreading branches; wood very soft; 
bark brown, containing very little milky sap; bark of twigs 
covered with setose reddish brown hairs. Leaves dry, mem- 
branous, dark green and blotched above, paler beneath, scat- 
tered along the slender branchlets, about 2 dm. long, 6 cm. 
wide above the middle, apex long acuminate or caudate, 
base obtuse rounded truncate or obscurely subcordate, mostly 
oblaneeolate, the lower half inequilateral, with entire margins, 
bristly pubescent beneath, sparsely so above; veins and ret- 
ieulations very evident from beneath, reddish brown, the 7 
to 9 lateral pairs ascendingly curved; petiole setosely dark 
brown pubescent, 1 cm. long; bud scales 12 mm. long, brown, 
membranous, glabrous, sharply acuminate. 
Receptacles solitary or in pairs, from the leaf axils or 
in the axils of their scars, subsessile or upon 1 to 3 mm, 
long peduncles, subglobose, frequently irregular in shape, 
10 to 15 mm. in diameter, hispidly brown pubescent, sub- 
tended by 3 obtuse braets, its surface smooth or faintly 
ridged, apex in most of the fruits subcompressed, apparently 
turning yellowish when fully mature; fertile female flowers 
4 mm. in length; pedicels 1.5 mm. long; perianth nearly 
2 mm. long, thin, glabrous, gamophyllous, obliquely truncate 
at the apex, saccate above the middle; ovary yellow or 
brownish red, more or less pulverulent, elliptic or obovoid, 
subcompressed, the back nearly straight, the opposite edge 
 . much curved, at most 1.5 mm. long, 1 mm. across the widest 
portion; style glabrous, 1 mm. long, slender, yellow except 
the slightly thickened dark brown stigmatic part. 
Type specimen 7177, A. D. E. Elmer, Palo, Province 
of Leyte, Leyte, January, 1906. This is a very rare species 
only observed along a stream of densely shaded woody ravine 
at 300 meters. Differs from F. wmbonata Reinw. in having
