FICUS. 



m 



F. grossularia, Herb. Ham. Miquel reduces to his Xfrostig. nervosum, which is = F nervosa, Heyne. 



F haplophylla, Kurz For. Flora B. Burmah ii. 461. Kurz mentions this, without describing it fully 



as a speoies from Khasia and Chittagong, near conglomerate, Eoxb. (= cunia, Ham.). I have 



seen 



no specimen 



F.Sunteri, mq. (non Forsk.) Lond Journ. Bot. vii. 225 ; PL Ind. Bat. i. pt. 2. 296; Ann. Mus. Lugd. 



Bat. iii. 290. I could find nothing bearing this name in the Herbaria at Utrecht or Leiden. It is 

 the name given by Miquel to F palmata, Eoxb. (not of Forsk), of which Miquel had seen no 

 specimen, but which he suggests may be a variety of F. fulva, Eeinw. Now Eoxburgh's F. palmata 

 came from Penang, and I incline to believe that Eoxburgh had described as F. palmata a 3-lobed 

 form of F. alba, Eeinw., which is still a very common plant in Penang ; while F. fulva does not 

 occur there. Eoxburgh does not mention F. alba from Penang, unless this palmata be it ; and as 

 alba is so common in Penang, he could scarcely have missed having the plant sent to him in 

 his collections from thence. • ' 



F. hypsophila, Miq. PL Jungh. 60, consists of specimens which I have referred partly to F. pisifera, 



"Wall., and partly to F. obscura, Bl. 



F. incim, Wall. Cat. 4490. The type specimen consists of a few 3-lobed leaves something like those of 



F. alba, but different. I do not recognise them. 



F. inclinata, Herb. Ham. in "Wall. Cat. 4486. Two collectings of this are catalogued by "Wallich, viz. 



A from Julpaigoree (in Bengal) and B from Silhet. On the sheet of the former in the type set 



with the Linnsean Society there is no specimen , but only a name ; but on a separate sheet, also 

 numbered 4486, but bearing the name F. pedicellata, there is glued down a specimen which exactly 

 resembles the specimen in deCandolle's Herbarium numbered 44S6B and named F. inclinata. 

 Both appear to be F. laevis, BL 



F. inconstant issima, Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. SuppL 431, is founded on imperfect specimens from Sumatra, 



probably = F. rostrata, Lamk. 



F. indica, Lamk. Encyc. ii. 494, is probably F. Mysorensis, Heyne. 



F. insularis, Miq. in Lond. Journ. Bot. vii. 435 ; Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. iii. 293 ; Maxim, in Bull. Acad. 



St. Petersb. xi. 332. I have examined the two type sheets of this at Kew. They are both from Loo 

 Choo. One is undoubtedly referable to F. Decaisn'-ana, Miq., the other to K gibbosa, BL Cuming's 

 Philippine specimen (No. 1943), which Maximo wicz (1. c.) considers as the same as these, appears to 

 me to be F. mbul»ta, BL 



F. lachhocaula, Miq. Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. iii. 287. I have seen no specimen of this and no description. 



F. lasiophylla, Link. Enum. ii. 449. This is reduced by Miquel (Lond. Journ. Bot. vi. 572) to i* 7 , bengalensis, 



Linn. 



F. longifolia, Wall. Cat. 4570E, is a mixture of the three species indica, apiocarpa, and obtusifolia. 



F. macropoda, Kurz (not of Miq.) For. Flora B. Burm. ii. 459. Kurz left no specimen of this either in 



his own private herbarium or in that of the Calcutta Botanic Garden. It is probably near 



F. copiosa, Steud. 

 F. malabarica 9 Miq. Lond. Journ. Bot. vii. 457, is founded on Wight's Herb. No. 873, and is Artocarpm 



i 



chaplasha, Roxb. 

 F menadana, Miq. in Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. iii. 233, 296. This spacies is founded on leaf specimens 



collected by Teysmann at Menado. Receptacles are unknown ; the leaves look like those of 



F. rudis, Miq. 



F. monticola, Miq. Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. iii. 216, 286. This species is founded on the specimen 



distributed asFicus No. 121 of the Herb. Ind. Or. of Hook, fil and Thorns, by whom it was collected 

 in the Khasia Hills. I find no specimens with good receptacles in any herbarium I have consulted, 

 but I think this comes too near F. inftctoria, Eoxb. to be separated from that species. 



F morifolia, Vahl. Enum. ii. 203 ; Miq. Lond. Journ. Bot. vii. 227 ; Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. iii. 290. 



This is said to bo ex Ind. Or., but I have seen no specimen. 



F. neglecta, Dene. N. Ann. Mus. iii. 494 ; Miq. (sub. Urostig.) Fl. Ind. Bat. i. pt. 2. 347. Decaisne gives 



Timor as the native place of this species, of which I have seen no specimen. It may be near 



F. retusa, Linn.
