tioles and along, the veins beneath the leaves. It is the 
same form as my number 8022 from Twin Peaks, Province of 
` Benguet, Luzon. 
32. F. nota (Bico.) Merr. in Govt. Lab. Publ. 17; 10, 
1904. F. aspera nota Blco. Fl. Filip. ed 1; 677, 1837. 
Represented by specimens 7472, 7710, 7804 and 9367, 
A. D. E. Elmer, Lucban, Province of Tayabas, Luzon, May, 
1906 and 1907. Very common in this locality, more or less 
shrubby in exposed thickets, quite tall trees in sheltered 
places of ravines. 
33. F. pseudopalma Blco. Fl. Filip. ed. 1; 680, 1837. 
Represented by 9372, A. D. E. Elmer, Province of Ta- 
yabas, Luzon, May, 1907. Here and there in dense thickets 
bordering meadows and rice fields but nowhere common. 
Blanco most certainly secured his specimen from middle 
Luzon, since he quotes the Tagalog vernacular name. Some 
five miles north of Baguio, Province of Benguet, Luzon, a 
rank tree like specimen with stems 7 cm. in diameter and 
about 7 m. high was observed to be 2 to 3-branched near 
the top. The southern form south of Luzon is different and 
will be discussed in another article. 
34. F. linearifolia n. sp.—Erect tree, 20 m. high, 
branehed from below the middle; ultimate branches very 
numerous, 3 mm. thick, lax and subpendulous; the apical 
portion of the young twigs soft brown pubescent. Leaves 
more or less scattered, but usually confined towards the 
ends of the branchlets, alternate, membranous, slightly sub- 
falcate and inequilateral, linear lanceolate, 2 dm. long, 2.5 
cm. wide across the middle, or frequently much smaller, 
slenderly tapering toward the long acuminate tips, base sub- 
cuneate and with rather abrupt and slightly inequal basal 
point, above glabrous and minutely punctate with yellowish 
white spots, beneath paler green and with a rusty brown 
pubescence along the veins and reticulations, with entire 
margins; midvein prominent beneath, slightly oblique below 
the middle; the lateral nerves from 5 to 7 or even 9 on 
each side, ascendingly curved, those above the middle rather 
obscure and irregular, submarginally united; petiole 3 to 5 
mm. long, densely rufous brown pubescent.
