DOUBTFUL AND IMPEEFECTLT KNOWN SPECIES. 1 8 3
F. Ifepaleiisis, Spreng. Syst. iii, 779. The only traces of this that I have been able to find in Herbaria are
two drawings at Leiden bearing tliis name. The plant figured in both is F. foveohta, Wall.
F. nuda, Kurz (not of Miq ) For. Flor. B. Burmah ii. 445. Kurz gives two forms of his ¡md", viz. var. I,
«ííífo proper, and var. 2, macromt-pa. What the former is I cannot say, as the author has left no
specimen, of it ; but I think it is probably F. rhododcndrifoUn, Miq. It certainly, from the description,
canno't be F. nuda, Miq. The var. macrocarpa, of which he has loft specimens, is F. Kwzi, mihi.
F. oòlongifoha, Don Prod. Fl. Nepal, p. 61. I cannot identify this : no specimens are now extant.
F. ovata, Don (not of Vahl.) Prod. Fl. Nepal, p. 61, probably F. scandens, Roxb.
F. oxyphylla, Miq. in Zoll. Syst, Terz. p. <J3, was reduced by Miquel himself (Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. iii. 294)
as probably = F. erecta, Thunbg.
F.pallida, WaU. Cat. 4507 = F. retasa, Linn.
F.peltaia, Bl. Bijdr. 438. Blume's description occupies only two lines, and includes no reference to
receptacles. The specimen bearing this name in the Utrecht Herbarium is an Aroid.
F. piota, Noronh. Verh. Bat. Qen. v. 76, is probably F. Benjamina, Linn.
F. popiUiformis, Sohott. MSS.
F. populnea,I These are both probably F. Arnottiana, Miq.
Eunth et Boaché.
F.pnbigem, Kurz (not of Wall., nor of Brandis For. Flora, p. 424) For. Flora B. Burm. ii. 450. The
plant thus named is desoribed by Kurz as a tree. There is no specimen of it at Calcutta.
Eurz's F. piihisera is not Wallioh's, whioh is a climber reducable to F. foveolata. Wall. What
F. foveolata, Kui'z, is I do not know, no specimen being extant.
F.pukhra, Wall. Oat. 4571; Miq. in Lend. Journ. Bot. vii, 430. Of this only leaf specimens are
extant, and they possibly do not belong to nny Ficus.
F. pyrifolia, Burm- Fl. Ind. p. 226. Burmann's description is too brief to identify any plant by. Miquel (in
Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. iii. 294) reduces to F. pyrifolia, Burm.,J'. Japónica, Bl. But Blume's
description is also very meagre, and it is, I think, unsafe to haaard any absolute opinion as to
the identity of the plants thus named by these two authors. Specimens named F. pyrifolia,
Burm. [F. Japónica, Bl.), in the Leiden Herbarium agree exactly with what I understand as
F. erecta, Thunbg. (non alior.), and to that species I have doubtfully reduced this (p. 141).
But a plaut cultivated in the Botanic Gardens at Utrecht and Buitenzorg as F. pyrifolia, Burm.,
does net agree with the Leiden Herbarium specimens.
Urostig. 2>yri/olitim, Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. i, pt, 2. 338. A species founded on specimens sent to Miquel
from the Buitenzorg Herbarium under the names F. pyrifolia, Burm,, and F. rubescens, Bl. I
have not seen the specimens,
F. {sub, Pogonotro.) pyrrh-poda, Miq, Fl. Ind. Bat. Suppl. 435, is probably F. ohtusa, Hassk. The
specimens I have seen are incotdplet«.
F. racemosa. Linn. Syst. p. 922 ; Ehecde Hort. Malab. i. 25. Rlieede's figure is the foundation for this
species. Miquel identifies it with F. asperrima, Boxb., but it looks more like F. dceinonum, lioxb.
{= hispidfí, Linn. fil). The description gives the leaves as soft ('• wo/&/, ^foiro, ei ¿¡w'a " ) , whereas
those of diBinomm are hard and scabrid. The figure might be intended possibly for F. glomerata,
Willd. A speoimen in Herb. Kew from Bottler's herbarium (consisting of 3 leaves only),
named i^. racemosa, bearing the notes " fruotib. edulibus" and "cum Rheede i. fig. 23, bene
quadrai," belongs to F. glonierata, Willd.
F. ramea, Wall. Cat. 4566. The specimens of this in the WaUichian Herbarium are attributed to Sylhet.
But the specimens and a drawing in the Calcutta Herbarium thus named by WaUich himself are
all F. rubra, Lamk., a plant received from the island of Bourbon and for many years cultivated
in the Botanic Garden, Calcutta.
F. roflixa, Thunbg. Diss. Fie. 11, No. 16. I do not know what this can be.
F. reticulata, Thunbg. Fic. 12 ; Vahl. Enum. ii. 199, is probably F. rostraiii, Lamk.
F. reiiisa. Linn., var. macrocarpa, Kurz. This vai'iety is probably a distinct species ; but in the absence of
good specimens I cannot identify it.
F. rhynchophylla, Wall. Cat. 4487 = F. religiosa, Linn.
F. roiundifoUa, Besb FI. Ind. iii. 656. I have seen nothing bearing tbis name. It is possibly one of
the forma of F. heterophylta. Linn. fil.
F. rtipeüris, 131. Bijdr. 439, indeterminable ; founded on a fruitless branch.
