F. cuneata, Wall. Cat. 4534, is, as I am ioformed by Mr. W. B. Hemsley, no Fieus at all, but Enjthroxylun
Suniuiniciim, Grifi.
F. dcemomm, Zoll. et Mor. Syst. Yefz. p. 77, is probably, as Miquel suggests, F. ohcura, Bl.
F. deniicula'a, Hntu. in Iraos. Lion. Soo. xv. Ho, is referred by Miqnel, and probably rightly, to
F. quercifolia, Rosb.
F. diahroh-i-T, Miq. 0£ this tbere is a very poor specimen at Utrecht. It is F. obscura, Bl.
F. (swi. Urostig.) Diepcnhorslii, Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. Siippl. 439, is fouuded on a leaf specimea from Sumatra.
F. d¡(formis, Lamk, Ene. ii. 4Di). Lanark's desoription is too meagre to admit of certainty as to what plant
lie meant. I have followed Mr. Beutham in treating tliis as probably the same as F. ythbosa,
Blume; see p, 5.
F. dimidiata, Wall. Cat, 4575, is probably F. anrantiaca, Grifi. The only specimens are leafy shoots.
F. discolor, Miq. Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. iii. 221, 291. I have seen no speoiraen of this; but from Miquel's
description, I should think ir is probably referable to either F.fuha, Eein-w., or F. toxicaría, Liun.
F. drvpacen, Thunbg. Ficus No. 11. I can make nothing of this.
F. etlipsoidec, Miq. Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. iii. 2Í30, 295. The type of this in the Utrecht Herbarium appears
to me to be simply Jl subulata, BL; and a specimen at Kow, named ellipsoidea by Mlquel's own
band, is undoubtedly the same as the type of trcmaiocarpa, Miq., wbieli is the same as F.
Dccaisnenna, Miq. F. ellipsoidea as a species therefore falls to tbe ground.
F. Emodi, "Wall. Oat. 4515, This is represented in the Walliohian eolleotions by leaf specimens said to
have come from Gossainthan, a mountain in Nepal. The leaves of these are like those of F. lams,
Bl., neai- which this plant has been put by Miquel (Lond. Journ. Bot. vii. 73 ; Ann Mus. Lugd.
Bat. iii. 278, 293), but they are more cordate at tbe base and have much longer petioles. In my
opinion they more resemble the leaves of F. Arnoltiana, Miq., which is not, however, a Himalayan
plant. But Wttllich's localities are not always to be depended upon ; and bis No. 4515 may have
been attributed to Gossainthan through some confusion or misplacement of tickets.
F. eryihrofperma, Miq. in Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. iii. 226, 293, Fiom Miquel's desoription of this, and from
the specimens in the Utrecht Herbarium, named by himself and -which agree with his publislied
desoription, I should be inclined to regard this as a form of F. kptocnrpa, Steud. (= ramentacen,
Rosb.), from the typical form of which it appears to diifer only in having obovato instead of ovate
leaves. The specimens at Kow and Leiden bearing this name (witten also by Miquel's hand) do not
agree with his desoription, and tbey clearly belong to some other species ; but the materials are too
imperfect for acoui'ate determination.
F.exceha, Miq. (sub. Urosl.) Fl. Ind. Bat. i. pt. 2. 350; Miq. in Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. iii. 286.
A species from Western Java. Miquel's type of this is at Utrecht, and consists of three leaves, which
can hardly have been collected from the same plant. This species is not represented in Kew,
Leiden, Calcutta, nor in H. deCandolle's Herbarium at Geneva.
F. fallax, Miq. F l Ind. Bat. i. pt. 2. 303 ; Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. iii. 292. The type of this in the Utrecht
Herbarium appears to be either a form of F. cuspidata, Eeinw., or of F. irregularis, Miq.
F. filiformis, Bl. Bijdr. 442. Described without receptacles: probably founded on a young shoot of some
scandenl species, I have seen no specimen.
F. Gasparriniana, Miq in T^nd. Journ. Bot. vii. 436; Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. iii. 294. I have seen only
one specimen of this, and it is too imperfect to be dealt with satisfactorily. The species, if it be
one, is evidently near F. Silhetemis, Miq., and F. erecta, Thunbg.
F. glomerata (not of Rosb.), Wall. Cat. 4o01C in part =5= F. saemocarpa, Miq.
F. gracilis, Wall. Cat. 4572, is not a Ficus.
F. grisca, WaU. Cat. 4544. All the specimeris I have seen consist of twigs without leaves or
reccptacIes.
F. (jrossiccnis, Miq. Ann. Mus. Lngd. Bat. iii. 227, 294. From Borneo and doubtfully from Ambon
and Ceram. I have seen no specimen. From the description, this must be either F. lanata, Bl.
F. ramtntacea, Rosb., or netix these.
