A small tree; the yonng branches sparsely strigose, slightly swollen at the insertion
of tho leaves. Leaves alternate, potiolate, membranous, lanceolate or oblanceohde,
inequilateral, slightly falcate ; the apex long-acuminate ; gradually narrowed from above thé
middle to the narrow sub-3-nerved base ; the edges entire ; lateral primary nerves 7 to
II pairs, not prominent; both sides glabrous except the lower which, on tho mitb-ib and
larger nerves, is adpressed-puboseent ; length of blade 2-Ö to i 'o in. ; petioles strigose,
•:i in. long; stipules linear.lanceolate, convolute, -8 in. long. Eeeeptaclcs rising from
elongated, ramons, leafless {sometimes stipulate towards the apexl glabrous branches which
i.ssue f rom the stem near the ground, pedunculate, sub-globose, strongly ribbed ; when young
verrucose, puberulous ; about '3 in. across when ripe ; mnbilicus closed b y 5 broad scales • the
base constricted into a stalk about -1 in. long at the junction of which with the peduncle
are 3 small bracts; pedancle proper -2 in. long. Male flowers numerous, the perianth of
2 large, inflated, roundish pieces ; anther single, almost sessile, very broad. Gall flowers mostlv
sossile, without perianth ; the ovary broad, obliquely obovoid, snb-rhoniboid, with ternrinal
thick stylo. J?ertile female flowers in separate receptacles, mostly pedicellate ; the perianth
tabular, short, covering only the pedicel of the rhomboid, minutely-tuberculatc achene •
style much longer than the achene ; stigma cylindric or clavate.

A species not far removed from F. ribes, Rcinw., but distinguished from that
specics b y its sub-rhomboid, fewer-nerved, densely-tuberculate leaves. This has nothing to
do with the plant issued as F. cuneala by Wallich (Cat. No. whi ch is, as I am
informed by Mr. W. Botting Hemslev, not a Ficus at all, but Enjlhroxylon Barnianicum,

FICC.S DIMORPIIA, VOV. spec.
A small tree ; the young shoots dcciduously hispid-tomentose. Leaves petiolate, subcoriaceous,
incqiiilatcral, elliptic or obovate-cl Hp tic ; the apex acute, shortly cuspidate; the
edges rather remotely dentate; the base rounded, slightly am-icled on one side
3-iierved, with an additional minute nerve in the auricled side; pi'imary lateral nerves
G or 7 paii's, not prominent; the under surface dull, harshly pubescent, especially on the
midrib and nerves ; the reticulations indistinct ; upper surface glabrous and shining ;
length of blade 4 â to 0 in. ; petiole -5 to -To in., pilose; stipules ovatejanceolate, slightly
Iiuliescent externally, -7 in. long. Receptacles pedunculate, in small fascicles from the
stem and larger branches, of two forms: —(a) Those eoutaining ffall and male JUwers^ which
are pyriferm, truncate at the apex, gradually constricted at the base into a long, tlnn
stalk at the union of wdiich with the peduncle proper are three deciduous bracts ; wrinkled,
verrucose, pubescent; total length 2'.ô in. of which tho stalk forms more than half;'
breadth at apex 1 in. ; peduncle proper b in. Male florets numerous under tlie bracts of
the mou4 ; stamen 1 ; perianth of 3 concave pieces. Gall florets elongate, with a short
sub-tevminal tyle; perianth minute, 3-eleft. (i) Ihose eontaining fertile fimule Jlorets, turbinate,
tho apex concave and the umbilious depressed; the base censtrictod into a stalk -4 in.
long; length 1 in., breadth 1-3 in.; peduncle proper -3 in. Fertile female florets
peJicellnte; achene ovate-rotund; perianth undivided or splitting irregularly.
The elongate receptacles occur mostly on the stem, the globular on the branches.
The former contain perfect male flowers and scales -mth rudimentary anthers and barren
female flowers (galls; ; the latter perfect fertilised female flowers.
