Specimens 7515 and 9378, A. D. E. Elmer, Lucban, Prov- 
ince of Tayabas, Luzon, May, 1906 and 1907 respectively. 
It was rarely found in damp woods of low ground at 750 
meters along the old road from Lucban to the town of 
Tayabas. In our region it appears as a dwarfed form of 
the stately trees in the type locality, and its figs are mostly 
subsessile and with obsolete bracts. Apparently the flowers 
are all fertile female only, bringing the species under 
the section Sycidium rather than under Urostigma.

199, 1905. F. rudis arborea Elm. Leaf. Philip. Bot. 1; 54, 1906. 
Zpecimen 9366, A. D. E. Elmer, Lucban, Province of Taya- 
bas, Luzon, May, 1907. This species is always noticed along 
water courses of rather open dry hot places. Our specimen 
was collected on the road towards Sampaloc. 
22. F. guyeri Elm. Leaf. Philip. Bot. 1; 196, 1906. 
Specimens 7512 and 9359, A. D. E. Elmer, Lucban, Prov- 
ince of Tayabas, Luzon, May, 1906 an! 1907 respectively. 
In our region it is confined to the woods skirting the base 
of Mount Banahao at 850 meters, and probably represents 
the center of its distribution. More southward than Luzon 
it is not at all common.
