Ficm hauili Blanco is possibly the earliest valid name for this
species, which must be considered as the Philippine representa-
tive of Ficus leucantotoma Poir.; possibly some future monogra-
pher will consider F. hauili to be a synonym of Poiret’s species.
The species is very common and very widely distributed in the
Philippines and is almost universally and exclusively known in the
Tagalog Provinces as hauili. Ficus laccifera Blanco, non Roxb.,
is unquestionably the same species, and material received from
the Visayan Islands under the native name lagnob, agreeing also
with Blanco’s description, matches Ficus hauili exactly. Ficus
hauili Blanco (F. laurifolia Blanco) was reduced by Fernandez-
Villar to Ficus leucopleura Blume, Which is generally considered
to be a synonym of F. leucantotoma Poir.; and F. laccifera Blanco,
non Roxb., was reduced by Fernandez-Villar to F. radiata Decne.,
which is also said to be a synonym of Ficus leucantotoma Poir.
Philippine material must be critically compared with the types
of Ficus leucantotoma Poir., F. leucopleura Blume, and F. radiata
Decne., properly to determine the status of Ficus hauili in refer-
ence to these three species.
