the middle, gradually rounded toward the top which bears an 
abrupt 5 mm. long point, base obtuse to subcuneate and ob- 
scurely emarginate;the smooth midvein very prominent beneath, 
with 7 ascending lateral pairs whose distal ends coalesce and 
form a submarginal vein, cross bars and reticulations relatively 
obscure; petiole stout, flexible, 2.5 cm. long, subcompressed, 
striately caniculate along the upper side, glabrous but when 
old scurfy brown; stipules subpersistent, appressed, glabrate, 
sharply acuminate, 1 to 1.5 em. long, brown when dry. 
Receptacles perfectly globose, solitary or 1 to 3-clustered

yellow except the deep red skin which when fully mature turns to 
wine color, 1.5 cm. in diameter; peduncle green and glabrous, less 
than 1 em. long, arising from very short tubercles, at the upper 
end subtended by 3 bract-like scales; umbilicus small, smooth or 
even with the receptacle curvature, covered over with short thick 
seales, the inner inwardly pointed scales linear lanceolate, brown 
and quite rigid; flowers apparently all fertile female, intermixed 
with sterile slightly pubescent pedicels or paraphyses 3 mm. long; 
perianth smooth, purplish brown, splitting into 3 or 4 oblanceolate

Type specimen 10475, A. D. E. Elmer, Todaya (Mt. Apo), 
District of Davao, Mindanao, May, 1909. 
Collected in moist fertile soil of humid forests at 4000 feet. 
The Bagobos also know this as *Cataupi." 
This new species is nearest related to F. apiocarp1 Miq. 
but fruits and especially the leaves very different. Mrs. Clemens 
has also collected it in the lake Lanao region of central Mindanao. 
Ficus hauili Blco.
