DeceMBER 19, 1911] A Fascicle or Davao Fras 1261 
at 4000 feet along the trail to Talon and near the Baruring river. 
My companion, a Bagobo, named it *Maramai." 
Male flowers not known, therefore section not certain. Its 
leaves very strongly resemble F. cumingii Mig. but not that 
species. 
Ficus todayensis Elm. n. sp. 
An erect middle sized tree; stem 17 m. high and 5 dm. 
thick, branched above the middle; branches erookedly rebranch- 
ed, spreading, the twigs numerous and slightly roughened; 
bark grayish white, blotched, yellowish beneath the epidermis, 
smooth except the young portion; wood coarsely grained, light, 
soft, white or paler, odorless and tasteless. Leaves copious, 
chartaceous, glabrous, alternatingly and widely scattered along 
the branchlets, similarly scabrous on both sides, lucid above, 
duller beneath, the slender acuminate tips recurved, otherwise 
horizontally spreading or descending, obtuse to subcuneate at 
the base, inequilateral, greatly varying in size and shape, the 
entire margins subrevolute at least in the dry state, the small 
ones subclliptic, the larger ones ovately oblong or merely ob- 
longish, curing very dull green, the larger blades 12.5 em. long, 
4.5 cm. wide across the middle or a trifle below it, midvein also 
scabrous, with 4 to 6 lateral nerves on each of its sides, the lateral 
ones ascencingly curved, the basal pair strongly so, their tips 
obscurely united, cross bars and reticulations obsolete; petiole 
1 em, long, canieulate, scabrous; bud bract brown when dry, 
subglabrous, acutely pointed, not exceeding 5 mm. in length. 
Receptacles solitary or in pairs, mostly from the leaf axils, 
globose or a trifle thicker above the middle, seabrid, more or 
less 1.5 em. across, light lemon yellow, becoming smooth when 
fully ripe; umbilicus slightly raised, circular, relatively small, 
covered over by short thick scales except the aperture which 
is guarded by the inner bracts protruding outwardly, the inner- 
most bracts acute to acuminate; flowers red, only fertile female 
of different stages, the large ones 4 mm. long, upon 2.5 mm. 
long pedicel; ovary closed over by a 5-segmented dark brown
