Near Kerepunu, sine no. 
Very close to F. hispida Bl.; differing in the relatively broader 
leaves rounded at the top, the short fig-bearing branches, if indeed 
the whole length is shown by the specimen, the fruiting pedicels 
apparently devoid of apical bracts and the pedicellate and gall- 
flowers, the latter with a lateral (not a terminal) style. Female 
flowers not seen. 
F. Bernaysii King, op. cit. 406. Koikoko Hills, 2500 ft., 625. 
A tree about 40 ft. high. Slender faded-purple figs growing on stem, 
§ Fit syce. 
F. Pantoniana King, op. cit. 407. Sogere, 2500 ft., 185. 
Large tree about 40 ft. Fruit rich vermilion ripening purple- 
black. 
F. Bauerleni King, op. cit. 408. Sogere, 2000 ft., 378. 
Large tree. Figs pale green below with white dots, on top purplish 
with whitish dots. 
F. duriuscula King. Sogere, 2000-3000 ft., 132, 435, 562, 765.

F. RHizopiioRiEPJTYLLA King, op. cit. 410. Mt. Gawada, 
4500 ft., 578. Mt. Koikoko, 2500 ft., 929. Figs bright orange. 
F. opposita Miq., near Kerepunu, sine no. F. Mueller noted 
this Australian species as probably Papuan (Descr. Notes Papuan 
PL iv. 60), but, in the absence of figs, certainty was not possible. 
White (Proc. B. Soc. Queensland, xxxiv. 23) records a Forbes 
Papuan specimen of F. fistulosa Beinw. as being at Melbourne. 
Perhaps F. subulata Bl. is meant, a species externally very like 
F. fistulosa.
