Although no staminate flowers of the plant here described are at 

 hand, yet there can be no doubt that its affinity is with the Cekideae, 

 and that it represents moreover a genus, hitherto unknown, related on 

 the one hand to Celtis, and on the other to Trema. From both of these 

 genera it differs in having opposite instead of alternate leaves. Habitally 

 it is more like Trema. but from this genus it not only differs in leaf 

 arrangement, but also in having pedunculate more or less open cymes, and 

 broad cotyledons. The genus is named in honor of Sefior Filemon L. 

 Lozano, a keen and enthusiastic assistant of Mr. Cyrus G. Pringle. 



Ficus subrotundifolia, n. sp. A small tree : stem and branches 

 covered with a grayish or brownish bark ; ultimate branches pubescent, 

 especially at the nodes : leaves petiolate, subrotuud to ovate-oblono-, 4 to 

 7 cm. long, 3.5 to G cm. broad, rounded to obtuse at the apex, subtrun- 

 cate to obtuse at the base, entire to subundulate-margined, somewhat 

 villous-pubescent on both surfaces in the young stages, later glabrate. 

 white-granulose on the upper surface, rather conspicuously netted-veiued 

 beneath ; petioles 1 to 2.5 cm. long, more or less densely subsericeous- 

 pubescent : receptacles sessile, axillary, usually in pairs, spherical, 8 to 

 12 mm. in diameter, greenish, covered with reddish-brown spots, densely 

 short-pubescent to essentially glabrous. — Mexico. State of Morelos : 

 ravines near Cuernavaca, altitude 1525 m., 9 June, 1904, C. G. Pringle,

 (1882). This species, described from specimens secured by Mr. J. G. 

 Lemmon on the plains near Apache Pass, Arizona, in 1881, has again been 

 found by Dr. A. Davidson along the Metcalf Road, near Metcalf, May 27, 

 1900, no. 327 r< (hb. Gr.). Dr. Davidson's specimens conform in e\ery
