DOUBTFUL AND IMPERFECTLY KNOWN SrECIES. iy3 



F. Nepalcnsis, Spreng. Syst. iii. 779. The only traces of this that I have been able to find in Herbaria are 



two drawings at Leiden bearing this name. The plant figured in both is F. foveolata, Wall. 



F. nuda t Kurz (not of Miq) For. Flor. B. Burmah ii. 445. Kurz gives two forms of his nttda, viz. var. 1, 



inula proper, and var. 2, macrocarpa. What the former is I cannot say, as the author lias left no 

 specimen of it ; but I think it is probably F rhododendrifoUn, Miq. It certainly, from the description, 

 cannot be F. nuda, Miq. The var. macrocarpa, of which he has left specimens, is F. Kurzt, milii. 



F. oblongifolia, Don Prod. Fl. Nepal, p. 61. I cannot identify this : no specimens are now extant. 



F. ovata, Don (not of Yahl.) Prod. Fl. Nepal, p. 61, probably F. scanden*, Roxb. 



F. oxyphylla, Miq. in Zoll. Syst. Verz. p. 93, was reduced by Miquel himself (Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. iii. 25)4) 



as probably = F. erecta, Thunbg. 

 F. pallida, Wall. Cat. 4567 = F.retusa, Linn. 

 F.peltata, Bl. Bijdr. 438. Brume's description occupies only two lines, and includes no reference to 



receptacles. The specimen bearing this name in the Utrecht Herbarium is an Aroid. 

 F. picta, Noronh. Verh. Bat. Gen. v. 76, is probably F. Benjamina, Linn. 



F. populiformis, Sohott. MBS. < ^^ ^ ^ R Amottiana, Miq 



F.populnea, Kunth et Bouche. ) .. 



Fpubigera, Kurz (not of Wall., nor of Brandis For. Flora, p. 424) For. Flora B. Burm. u. 450. Th< 



plant thus named is described by Kurz as a tree. There is no specimen of it at Cak tta. 



Kurz's F. pubigera is not Wallich's, which is a climber reducable to F. foveolata, Wall. Wiiat 



F. foveolata, Kurz, is I do not know, no specimen being extant. 



Wall. Cat. 4571 ; Miq. in Lond. Journ. Bot. vii. 430. Of this only leaf specimens are 



extant, and they possibly do not belong to any Ficus 



F. pulch 



F. pyrifolia, Burm. PI. Ind. p. 226. Burmann's description is too brief to identify .my plant by^ M.^el (.0 



Ann Mns.Lugd. Bat. iii. 294) reduces to F. pi,ri/olia, Burm.,*! /fl***, Bl. But Blume 



description is also very meagre, and it is, I flunk, unsafe to hazard any absolute opinion as < 



the identity of the plants thus named by these two authors. Specimens named F ;>;„•',, ■« 



Burm. (F. Japonica, Bl.), in the Leiden Herbarium agree exactly with what I understand 



Thimbu (non alior.), and to that species I have doubtfully reduced this

does net agree with the Leiden Herbarium specimens.
