1242 LEAFLETS OF PHILIPPINE BOTANY [Vor. IV, Arr. 67 
only slightly descending, dull green on the glabrous upper surface, 
paler or slightly pubescent on the nether side, alternatingly scat- 
tered, comparatively few and mostly toward the ends of the 
twigs, slightly roughened on both sides, very unequal in size, 
oblong, occasionally a trifle unequally sided, abruptly terminat- 
ing into an acute or acuminate apex, base subtruncate or broadly l 
rounded, entire or apiculate or minutely dentate above the mid- 
dle, the larger ones 15 cm. long by 5 cm. wide across the middle; 
midvein conspicuously raised beneath, with 5 to 7 lateral pairs or 
fewer in the small blades, ascendingly curved, tips anastomosing, 
also prominent, the reticulations quite evident, all finely brown 
pubescent; bud bracts or stipules submembranous, less than 1 
em. long, linearly acuminate, soft pubescent on the dorsal side. 
Receptacle globose, sessile, 7.5 mm. thick, creamy white, 
usually clustered in the leaf axils or in their scars along the twigs, 
felty pubescent, minutely papillose above the middle to the 
apex; umbilicus not conspicuous, aperture circular and openly 
guarded by the numerous protruding bracts, the inner bracts 
extending the opposite direction; bracts 2 or 3, ciliate especially 
along the margins, acuminate, at least 2 mm. long; flowers pseudo- 
hermaphrodite and gall only, the imperfect ones in the region 
of the umbilicus; gall flowers sessile; perianth of 4 segments, 
hyaline with brownish central regions, 2 mm. long or longer, 
acuminate oblong to lanceolate, occasionally with few fine ciliate 
hairs; gall ovary 1 mm. across, somewhat compressed or lentic- 
ular, otherwise globose, sessile, greenish brown; style terminal, 
very slender, yellowish, as long as the ovary, smooth; stigma 
reddish brown, disk-like or obscurely lobed. 
Type specimen 10922, A. D. E. Elmer, Todaya (Mt. Apo), 
District of Davao, Mindanao, June, 1909. 
Discovered in very damp suballuvial soil of dense forests at 
3500 feet, just north of the Baruring river flat on the trail to Talon. 
The Bagobos know it as “‘Magulipe” though I have seen only two 
plants during my seven months exploration work in that 
vicinity. 
More differential in the field than as herbarium specimens. 
This is neither of its two closely allied species F. pisifera Wall. 
‘nor F. celebica Blm. according to King’s monograph. Its closer 
affinity, however, is to the latter. What Miquel’s F. lancifolia 
really is I do not know.
