Gathered from among shrubs or slightly wooded banks of a 
small nearly stagnant stream winding about in the cogon flats 
at 25 feet altitude. 
Ficus infectoria Roxb. 
Field-note:—An epiphytic tree; trunk short, solitary or 
3 or 4-grouped, ascending, soon widely spreading especially over 
the open river space; main branches 1 foot thick, 30 feet long, 
arising from below the middle, terete, the ultimate ones lax 
and drooping; wood very soft and fibrous, dirty white, without 
odor or taste; bark very smooth on the gray with brown blotched 
epidermis, testaceus otherwise, containing a flow of latex; leaves 
descending, coriaceous, very deep green and very lucid on the 
upper shallowly folded surface, margins somewhat wavy, the 
apex abruptly recurved on the nether side, much lighter green 
beneath; figs solitary or in pairs, in the leaf axils or from their 
scars, subglobose but with a flattened apex, pale green, with 
lighter colored milk spots; the syconium is hard, enclosing 
yellowish brown florets. 
Represented by number 13002, Eimer, Puerto Princesa 
(Mt. Pulgar), Palawan, April, 1911. 
On the densely wooded and moist sand gravelly banks 
of the Iwahig river at 500 feet altitude. Apparently this plant 
started as an epiphyte near the base of some tree trunk. When 
young it is more distinetly an epiphyte but usually develops 
into a spreading irregular tree form. 
This species is more typical F. injectoria Roxb. than the 
variety F. infectoria forbesii (Mig.) King, both of which have 
sessile fruits. Most of our Philippine material has pedicelled 
fruits. 
Group XI. 
Ficus glareosa Elm. n. sp. 
Slender suberect shrub or becoming tree-like; stem nearly 
5 em. thick, 5 m. high, only sparingly branched from above 
the middle; wood conspicuously grained, moderately hard and
