In aspect somewhat different from typical Ficus fiskei, but ap- 
parently not specifically distinct from that species. The leaves 
are rougher and harsher, somewhat more prominently veined, 
but differ from those of the species chiefly in being deeply 
sinuate-lobed. The receptacles are clustered in the axils of fallen 
leaves, are distinctly spinulous-hispid, and are longer than in 
typical Ficus fiskei Elm.

The species is new to the Philippines, its range, according to 
King, being from Assam through the Malay Peninsula and Ar- 
chipelago to New Guinea. The Philippine specimen differs from 
the species as figured and described by King in having some of 
the receptacles fascicled rather than in pairs. In all essential 
characters, however, it seems to be quite the same as Miquel’s 
species.
