This is perhaps the same 

 species recorded from For- 

 mosa as Ficus Roxburghii 

 WALL, by HEMSLEY in his 

 " Ind. Fl. Sin." II. p. 467. 



The new species differs 

 from F. Roxburghii WALL. 

 in the far much smaller 

 receptacles. I infer that 

 HEMSLEY must have identi- 

 fied his Formosan species to 

 F. Roxburghii without ex- 

 amining receptacles. So far, 

 we have never seen the latter 

 in the island.
