Sect. VI. Eusvcr. Flowers unisexual; male and gall fl. in one set of 
receptacles; fem. fl. in distinct sets (except F. Thwaitesii). Male ft. dian- 
drous (95 F, hirta is mono- triandrous, and 80 F. levis is often triandrous). 
—Scandent or erect shrubs or small trees, rarely epiphytes. Leaves not 
scabrid or hispid. Receptacles small (except F. levis and vars. of F. foveo- 
lata), axillary. 
* Scandent or creeping shrubs. Sp. 79-90 (see also 91).

serrate-toothed or subentire along the upper margin and entire towards the

PENANG, PERAK and SINGAPORE, very common.—DirsrRrs. Malay Islands. 
A shrub or small tree. Leaves 4—7 in., subscabrid and punctulate beneath, above 
smoother; nerves 3-5 pairs and midrib prominent and puberulous beneath, reticu- 
lations distinct; stipules 2, 5-3 in., lanceolate, puberulous, persistent. Recepts 1 
with yellow dots; peduncle 1-1 in., slender, scabrid, with sometimes 1-2 wart-like 
bracts. Male fl. near the top of the receptacle with gall flowers ; sepals 4, unite 
at the base; stamen 1, with a pistillode. Gall fl. ; sepals 3, linear-lanceolate; ovary 
obovoid, smooth, stipitate ; style short, lateral, stigma clavate. Fem. ft. ; calyx 
deeply 4-cleft; achene ovoid; style subterminal, stigma capitate.—Closely allied to 
F. rostrata, Lamk., but shrubby or arboreous, leaves more unequal-sided, receptac 
more hispid and more generally peduncled. Most of Blume’s grewiefolia are refera » 
to this, but a few belong to F. Ampelos, Burm., and I have hence adopted Wallich's 
name. Probably Roxburgh’s F. exasperata is this, judging from a drawing 12 
Roxburgh’s Icones. If this was certain, his name would claim priority, but n9 
specimens of Roxburgh's plant appear to be extant. 
2. F. gibbosa, Blume Bijd. 466; branchlets scaberulous otie 
pubescent, leaves petioled coriaceous usually inequilateral elliptic-ovate 
lanceolate or oblanceolate obtuse cuspidate or obtusely or acutely acumina 
entire, base cuneate or obtuse 3-nerved never rounded gibbous on ene si 
both sides, receptacles 1—j in. or in pairs or fascicled axillary or from belo 
the leaves peduncled globose or depressei-pyriform mammillate scabrid an 
verruculose yellow, umbilicus rather prominent, basal bracts 0, pedunc’?
