'I'he curious olive green colour of the ailult leaves of this when dry is very characteristic.
A form of this, the leaves of which dry of a yellowish-green and have rather more
numerous lateral nerves than the type, was elevated by Miquel to the rank of a spceies under
the name P- Sumalrana.

A tree ? The young shoots covered with minute reddish-brown adpressed hairs. Leaves
clustered near the extremities of the branches, thinly coriaceous, elliptic or obovate-elliptic;
the apex blunt; the edges entire, narrowed from above the middle to the slightly cordate 5- to
7-nerved base; primary lateral nerves about 5 pairs ; both surfaces glabrous, the lower with
distinct reticulations and numerous minute black dots; length of blade 4.'5 to 7 in.;
petioles-75 in. to 1 in., puberulous at first, ultimately glabrous; stipules ovate-lanceolate,
convolute, puberulous externally, '4 in. long. Receptacles pedunculate, axillary, in pairs,
globose, with rather prominent apical umbilicus, slightly constricted at the base into a short
stalk at the junction of which with the peduncle proper are 3 small, broadly-ovate bracts;
pubescent when young but glabrous when ripe, about '5 in. across; peduncle proper
pubescent, -75 in. long.

leaves or of fallen leaves, tomontose, globose when ripe, -4= in. across, constricted at the base
into a stalk '35 in. long at the junction of which with the pediccl proper are 3 broadly
triangular bracts; umbilicus small but prominent; peduncles proper -2 in. long. Male flowers
pedicellate, mixed with gall flowers all over the interior of receptacle; perianth of male
of 3 (sometimes 4) ovate-rotund, petiolate, distinct pieces; stamens 2; the anthers as broad
as long, the fi'aments short. Gall flowers usually sessile; the perianth of 5 linear-Ian cool ato,

A tree ? The p ' u ng branches fulvous-pubescent. Leaves thickly membranous, petiolate
obovate-elliptic or elliptic-oblong, with rounded or obtusely-pointed apex and entire
i-evolute edges, gradually narrowed to the 3-nervedj slightly oblique, rounded, obtuse, subemarginate
base; lateral primary nerves 4 to 7 pairs; reticulations minute, rather distinct
on the under surface the whole of which, but especially the midrib and nerves, is rather
harshly adpressed-pubescent; upper surface glabrescent, the midrib and main nerves
puberulous; length of blade 4 to 6 in.; petioles shortly incano-pubescent, from -6 to
•8 in. long; stipules covered with pale silky hairs -5 in. long. Receptacles long-pedunculate,
solitary (by abortion?); when young densely tomentose, globose, prominently umbonace
at the apes, constricted at the base into a slender stalk at the junction of which with
the peduncle proper are 3 rather large ovate-acute, villous bracts; peduncle proper slender,
pubescent, and about 1 in, long. Mature receptacles unknown. Male flowers in the
upper part of the receptacles with the gall flowers, sub-sessile, with periaiitli of 3
rather broad, distinct pieces; anthers 2, small, narrowly ovate, with .short filaments united
below. Gall fiowers sessile, with 2 (or 3) very broad, distinct perianth leaves; achene
broadly ovoid, with sub-terminal style; perfect female fiowers unknown.

I have reduced to this F..atakto2yhijlla, Miq., a species which the author himself regarded
as very near his previously-described F. pedunculosa. F. peduncularis, Wall. Cat. 4528,
of which only fragmentary specimens exist, appears to fall here also. This species is not
common, and it is very closely allied to F. macropoda, Miq. In all the specimens of
each of those which I have seen the receptacles are quite young.
