greenish to brown; wood moderately hard, tough, white, tastee- 
Lese and odorless, with a green pith, ringed; bark smooth, 
except the green hypodermie, the inner whitish surface with- 
out latex, or apparently without it, easily stripping: leaves 
copious, upen ascending olivaceous petioles, chartaceous, 
flat with strongly recurved apices, paler green beneath, 
the midvein whitieh beneath; fice usually selitary from the 
leaf axils or from the axile of the fallen leaves, divericate, 
very enooth in 911 eteges, perfectly glaucous green when 
young, the young ones more elongated, st 911 times conepi- 
euously rugose, umbilicus purplish, florets rosens, with 
age the apex keamms becomes conetricted into a blunt nipple, 
' whdle the greatest diameter develops a trifle below the

12875. Ficus eardinalicarps “im. n. Sp. Thie 
species was collected in the same ecologies! place, and

12876, Ficus cardinslicarpa Sim. n. sp. This species 
ie an intermediate form or rather variety between the two 
preceding numbers, and is growing with them and aeenmes the 
game habit: it probably is closer releted to number 12875 
then to 12874; I could never find #11 grades of leaves on 
any @ingle bush, sOme Leaves on thie number are aleo found 
on number 12875, but none of the leaves on these two numbers 
were ever to be found on 12874, and vice veres., Puerto
