nearly 2 mm. in length, usually curved at the base; its 
perianth segments at least 2.5 mm. long, hyaline, strap like, 
3-segmented above the middle but ultimately separating clear 
down to the base; ovary ovately cylindrie and somewhat 
compressed, 2 mm. long, the base abruptly short stipitate, 
both ends rounded, 1 mm. thick below the middle, smooth,

Specimens 7516, 7452, 7454, 7510, 7655, 9381 and 9380, 
A. D. E. Elmer, Lucban, Province of Tayabas, Luzon, May, 
1906 and 1907; also 8325, A. D. E. Elmer, Los Baños, Prov- 
ince of Laguna, April, 1906, which was distributed as F. 
eucaudata Elm. It is very common in thickets bordering 
meadows and in dry gulches, and is related to the seacoast 
southern species F. mindanaensis Warb. which has much 
larger underneath pubescent leaves; again, it is equally clo- 
sely related to F. eucaudata Elm., a smaller leaved species 
inhabiting the higher mountains of middle northern Luzon. 
My number 8023 from Twin Peaks, Province of Benguet, 
Luzon, I now regard as F. caudatifolia Warb.

3; 188, 1906.-—Erect tree, 15 m. high, with a 5 dm. thick 
trunk; branches above the middle, divaricate and spreading, 
the branchlets quite short, rigid and gnarly; bark thinly 
checked, mottled, covering the yellowish white and more or less 
brittle wood, that on the young twigs shining brown. Leaves 
very harsh on both sides, usually conduplicate on the up- 
per surface, exceedingly unequal in size, deep green and 
sublucid above, lighter beneath, the medium sized blades 
17 em. long, 10 em. wide across the middle or just below 
that, papyraceous, ovate to subelliptic, subentire or crenately — 
denticulate, apex very short obtuse or nearly rounded to 
acute, base broadly rounded or shallowly cordate; lateral 
veins 5 to 7 or even 9 on each side, their tips interarch- 
ing, the basal pair much ascending and with lateral vein- 
lets from its lower side, all prominent beneath, cross bars 
less prominent; petiole 2 to 5 cm. long, equally scabrous; 
bud scales scaberulous, narrowly acuminate, 6 mm. long. 
Receptacles clustered upon short woody tubercles along
