vel subrotundatis, nervis prominentibus, utrinque circiter 8; 
stipulis membranaceis, caducis, lanceolatis, 10 cm longis; fruc- 
tibus globosis vel subglobosis, circiter 6 cm diametro (imma- 
turis), anthocarpiis numerosissimis, apicibus subovoideis, obtusis, 
vix 2 mm longis, dense ceraceo-furfuraceis. 
A tree about 40 m high, glabrous or nearly so. Branches dark 
reddish-brown, smooth, the ultimate ones nearly 1 cm in diame- 
ter, marked with slender annular rings less than 1 cm apart. 
Leaves ovate, coriaceous, glabrous, 10 to 30 cm long, 7 to 20 cm 
wide, entire, the apex acute or very shortly and acutely acum- 
inate, or apiculate-acuminate, base acute or somewhat rounded, 
both surfaces slightly shining, of about the same color and 
somewhat brownish when dry ; lateral nerves about 8 on each side 
of the midrib, prominent, spreading, curved only near their tips, 
the ultimate reticulations slender, subparallel; petioles 3 to 5 
cm long; stipules caducous, lanceolate, acuminate, membrana- 
ceous, 10 cm long, outside sparingly pubescent with very short, 
somewhat appressed hairs. Flowers unknown. Immature 
fruits globose or subglobose, about 6 cm in diameter (immature) , 
composed of very numerous, slender anthocarps, the projecting 
tips of the anthocarps ovoid or subovoid, about 2 mm long, 
rounded or obtuse, about 2 mm in diameter, densely covered with 
waxy-furfuraceous scales.

(type), 20530 Ramos, June, 1912, February, 1913, fruits yellow. 
A very characteristic species, manifestly, however, in the same group 
as Artocarpus communis Forst. In texture and venation the leaves re- 
semble those of Forster’s species, but are always quite entire. In being 
almost glabrous the present species differs also from Artocarpus communis 
Forst. The waxy-furfuraceous tips of the anthocarps is characteristic.

FICUS CAM ARINENSIS sp. nov. § Urostigma. 
Arbor alta, glabra, ramis ramulisque rugosis; foliis alternis, 
oblongo-ellipticis, subcoriaceis, nitidis, laevis, usque ad 23 cm 
longis, integris, apice abrupte tenuiter acute acuminatis, basi 
rotundatis, 3-plinerviis, nervis lateralibus utrinque 10 ad 
12, subpatulis, prominentibus, anastomosantibus ; petiolo 2.5 cm 
longo; receptaculis axillaribus, solitariis, sessilibus, ellipsoideis, 
in siccitate brunneis, 3 ad 3.5 cm longis, bracteis 3, reniformibus, 
3 mm longis, 5 mm latis. 
A tall tree, quite glabrous except the bud-scales which are 
appressed-hirsute. Branches and branchlets prominently rugose 
when dry, somewhat lenticellate, with distinct stipular scars, the 
latter 5 to 6 mm in diameter. Leaves alternate, subcoriaceous,
