Notes
1The leaf is not truly compound as there is no articulation between ‘leaflet’ and ‘rachis’. When juvenile, the lamina may not (yet) have petiolulate segments, but seg- ments broadly attached to the ‘rachis’, a feature sometimes retained in the adult state.
2The species is also recorded for the Philippines (Basilan, Mindanao, Palawan) by Merrill (1921) under Artocarpus superba, but the collections were not traced by Jarrett (1959), nor for the present treatment. Possibly specimens of A. altilis with lamina’s with numerous incisions were misidentified as A. anisiophyllus.
