guetense Merr. and its variety, F. quercifolia (Rozb:) King, 
F. mota (Blco. Merr, F. gpseudopalma | Blco., F. odorata 
(Bleo.) Merr. and F. caudatifolia Warb. The last named 
species is most abundant in this region but evidently not 
so common elsewhere in the Archipelago. The next to the 
last species was found only in the town of Lucban. In the 
woods at the base of Mount Banahao are the following tree 
species; F. caulocarpa Miq., F. ruficaulis Merr., F. latsoni 
Elm., F. minahassae Miq., F. integrifolia Elm., F. barnesii 
Merr., F. glomerata Roxb., F. linearifolia Elm., F. magnifica 
Elm., F. similis Merr., F. longipedunculata (Merr.) Elm., F. 
palawanense Merr., F. malunuensis Warb. In this region only 
two scandent shrubs were observed, namely, F. apiocarpa 
Miq. and F. tayabensis Elm. Of the former only one plant 
was discovered at the beginning of my collecting season in 
1906. The latter species is equally rare and was found only 
at the close of the collecting season of 1907. In the rav- 
ines and on the ridges of the base of Mount Banahao or 
rather on the basal one third of the mountain are the 
following scandent species, none of which was common; F. 
propinqua Merr., F. megacarpa Merr. and F. warburgii 
Elm. Of erect or sprawling shrubs are F. fastigiata Elm., 
which was collected only once on a rocky exposure, 
F. angustissima Merr., F. confusa Elm., F. guyeri Elm. 
and F. lucbanensis .Elm. The last named species is the 
most common in this belt. The following two small tree 
species also belong here F. repandifolia Elm., and F. ban- 
ahaensis Elm. 'The former was more common in the humid 
woods between Lucban and Sampaloc than elsewhere in 
this district. F. anomala Merr. was only once met in open 
woods bordering rice fields towards the Batocan Falls. In 
this same vicinity and near rapids of the Batocan River 
F. inequifolia Elm. was discovered. F. manilensis Warb., 
F. gigantijolia Merr. and F. sinuosa Mig. were cellected in 
the vicinity of Sampaloc and are the only species collected 
outside the three mile radius of Lucban.
