48 (16). Ficus retusa L. See 6 herebefore. 



Large tree, spread throughout Java from the plains to an 

 altitude of 1200 m., especially in light forests, on the inner 

 borders of mangrove forests and in not too dry parts of 

 teak-forests. It is frequently cultivated as an ornamental tree. 

 The reproduction is effected by the figs which are produced 

 in enormous numbers. 



According to the Dutch text collected at an altitude of 

 700 m. The English text says: ,,in the higher parts of Mount 

 ,,Rakata". 



49 (17). Ficus ribes Reinw. See 6 herebefore. 



Collected ,,in the higher parts of Mount Rakata". The 

 Dutch text adds: ,,up to the summit". This is in accor- 

 dance with 6. But in a subsequent paper ') an altitude 

 of 300 m. (consequently the lower half of the mountain) is 

 given for specimens of this species found in April 1919. 



50 (14). Ficus septica Burm. (= F. leucantatoma Poir.). 



Shrub, spread throughout Java from the plains up to an 

 altitude of 1200 m., on road-sides, in thickets and second- 

 growth forests, in teak-forests, in and around native villages 

 and very often in unkept gardens. The reproduction is effected 

 by figs which are greedily eaten by bats. 



Collected as appears from the Dutch text in the lower 

 parts of the island. The English text only says: ,,/Vo real 

 ,,forest-plant" ; the Dutch text adds: ,,as a rule no forest- 

 plant". 



51 (18). Ficus toxicaria L. fil. See p. 115, No. 44. 



Collected in the lower ravines. 



52 (19). Ficus variegata Bl. See herebefore 5 where this species 



is mentioned as ,,one of the many trees belonging to a 

 ,,few species" that were growing in a dry water-channel. 

 Collected at an altitude of 100 m. In a paper to be 

 discussed later on 2 ) Mr. Docters van Leeuwen asserts 

 that this species occurred only sporadically on Krakatao.
