CENTURIA IV. 



301. Ficus L. altho' apparently a natural group 

 of trees and shrubs, it includes many Genera or 

 Subg. see till 317. Linneus had only 17 sp: and 

 now there are 98 in Wild, and Pers. 105 in 

 Smith monograph. Many are little known as 

 yet, and the inside parts difficult to verify have 

 been observed in but few : it is merely surmised 

 they are similar to Ficus carica, which was 

 odly put in Trioecia ! No one having thought to 

 revise the Genus, I will do it as to Genera, by 

 habit and outer visible parts, chiefly the outer 

 calicule and ombilic of the perianthe and fruit, 

 called by others receptacle. 



302. Subg. SucoMoiios periantho turb. vel 

 obov. calicul. minimus sepe tripart. persistens, 

 ombil, squamoso. fol. alternis. This includes 

 Ficus carica,sycomorus and many other doubt- 

 ful sp.
