The reproduction is effected by the minute berries which are 

 copiously produced. It is quite unknown in which manner the 

 seeds are dispersed. The statement of Mr. Docters van 

 Leeuwen that this is done by animals 1 ) may be -correct 

 but probably flowing water also does its part. 

 Numerous in the ravine-forest above 200 m. 



Moraceae. 



18. Ficus fistulosa Rcimv. See p. 133, No. 16. 



From just behind the beach up to an altitude of 400 m. 

 Numerous in the ravines above 200 m. where it was the 

 main-component of the forest. 



19. Ficus fulva Reinw. See p. 133, No. 17. 



From just behind the beach to an altitude of 400 m. in 

 scattered specimens or small groups. 



20. Ficus quercifo/ia Roxb. 



Small shrub, spread from the plains to an altitude of 

 1300 m. It grows in sunny or moderately shadowed, unfertile 

 as well as fertile localities, often on steep walls, moreover 

 on forest borders and in not too dark woods, frequently 

 in teak-woods. 



Here and there on ravine-sides between 150 and 300 m. 

 above sea-level. 



21. Ficus toxicaria L. fil. See p. 115, No. 44. 



Here and there in the ravines between 200 and 400 m. 

 above sea-level. 



Urticaceae. 



22. Pipturus incanus Weckl See p. 134, No. 19. 



In open places in the Saccharum-girdle and in the ravine- 

 forest, rather numerous but mostly in scattered specimens. 



23. Leucosyke capitellata Wedd. 



Shrub, spread from West- to East-Java between 200 and 

 2400 m. above sea-level, mostly above 600 m. in shadowy 

 forests, especially on fertile volcanic soils. The reproduction 

 is effected by the somewhat fleshy fruits. 



Rather numerous in the ravine forest from an altitude of 

 300 m. upwards.
