& Rosario , September 28, 1913, in dense forests, altitude 240 
meters, locally known as cubi. 
A very characteristic species at once distinguished from all 
other Philippine forms by its vegetative characters and its ample, 
entire or but obscurely denticulate, long caudate-acuminate, equi- 
lateral leaves, which are cordate at the base and hirsute on the 
lower surface. 
ARTOCARPUS PIN NAT I SECT A sp. nov. 
Arbor alta, ramulis stipulisque exceptis glabra; foliis circiter 
50 cm longis, pinnatisectis, coriaceis, segmentis lanceolatis, acu- 
minatis, circiter 20 cm longis; inflorescentiis $ cylindraceis, 
axillaribus, solitariis, circiter 10 cm longis, 3 cm diametro; sti- 
pulis coriaceis, 20 ad 26 cm longis, extus dense ciliato-villosis ; 
fructibus cylindraceis. 
A tall tree, glabrous except the younger parts and the stipules, 
the ultimate branchlets terete, very stout, 1.5 to 3 cm in diameter, 
dark reddish-brown, marked with prominent petiolar and stipular 
scars, ciliate-bearded below the petioles and stipules, otherwise 
glabrous. Leaves oblong to oblong-ovate in outline, about 50 cm 
long, nearly glabrous, coriaceous, pinnately divided into about 
15 segments, the sinuses narrow, extending nearly or quite to the 
midrib, the segments lanceolate, entire, sharply acuminate, 
straight or somewhat falcate, ascending, about 20 cm long, 1.5 
to 3 tm wide, the midrib and nerves somewhat pubescent; pet- 
ioles very stout, 10 to 12 cm long; stipules lanceolate, coria- 
ceous, 20 to 26 cm long, acuminate, inside brown and glabrous, 
outside rather densely ciliate-villous with long, rather soft, 
shining, brownish or grayish hairs. Staminate inflorescence 
axillary, solitary, cylindric, about 10 cm long, 3 cm in diameter, 
rounded at both ends, the peduncles stout, 3 to 4 cm long, glabrous 
or somewhat ciliate-villous. Immature fruits cylindric, about 15 
cm long, 4 cm in diameter, the tips of the anthocarps ovoid, about 
2 mm long and 1.5 mm wide, blunt, densely verruculose.

A very striking species in the group with Artocarpus communis 
Forst., characterized by its long, ciliate-villous stipules and es- 
pecially by its pinnately divided leaves, the numerous, narrow, 
lanceolate segments, and the equally narrow sinuses which extend 
quite or nearly to the midrib.
