ResumoThis series of studies, like its predecessor*, is intended to bring up to a recent date the most important information concerning a few species of fig trees, and to serve as a point of departure for future work on specimens of these trees which may be collected by post-war botanical expeditions. TIherefore the synonymy of each species has been collected and evaluated, and detailed descriptions made from living trees in Florida, herbarium material, and literature. The field work has been done principally at Chapman Field, the United States Plant Introduction Station south of Coconut Grove; tlhe McKee Jungle Gardens, Vero Beach; Woodlawn Cemetery, Miami; the Cypress Gardens, Winter Haven; and the Royal Palm Nurseries at Oneco. Specimens have been seen also on private estates, such as those of Mrs. Charles T. Simpson in Miami, and the Peace Jungle Gardens, Fort Mvers; and along streets. Herbarium specimens have been studied at the New York Botanical Garden, New York City; the Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts; the United States National Herbarium, Washington; and the University of Florida, Gainesville. Most of the literature was examined at the New York Botanical Garden, but some was seen at the Arnold Arboretum. I am very grateful to those who allowed me to use these facilities, and particularly to Mrs. Simpson, Mr. Gaines R. Wilson of Coconut Grove, and others in the gardens and nurseries who acted as guides.
