the stem and larger branches, upon 2:5 cm. long ebracteo- 
late subscabrous peduncles, compressed globose, 1 to 2 cm. 
in diameter, scabrous when green and immature, turning 
orange red and ultimately becoming soft, smooth and dark 
blood red; fertile female flowers 3 mm. long, the perianth 
ultimately divided into about 5 ligulate or narrowly oblan- 
ceolate segments; ovary lenticular, 1 mm. long, smooth, hard, 
brown, its edges hyaline keeled which extends into a 1 to

Represented by 8274, A. D. E. Elmer, Lucban, Province of 
Tayabas, Luzon, May, 1907. In light woods bordering rice

Falls. Only one tree was observed, and aside from the type 
specimen which was collected at Montalban, Province of 
Rizal, Luzon, this species is also known from Mindoro. 
6. F. inequifolia n. sp.—Stout tree, 15 m. high, with 
trunk 6 dm. in diameter; wood white, covered with yello- 
wish bark roughened with rather large brown lenticels; main 
branches widely spreading from the middle, ultimate branch- 
lets quite numerous and forming half drooping bushes. Leaves 
exceedingly unequal in size, subdeflexed, lucid green above, 
much lighter beneath, conduplicate on the upper side, sub- 
papyraceous, both ends nearly equally rounded, oblong to 
subelliptie, the rounded apex abruptly long acuminate, the 
base obtusely rounded or witb a short extenuating base, 
the larger blades 18 cm. long by 8 cm. wide across the

Receptacles 1 to 3-clustered in the leaf axils or in the 
axils of the leaf scars, globose, greenish yellow, about 7 
mm. in diameter, spotted with brown lenticels, the base
