fleshy, tubular, 4-toothed ; stamen 1, anther broad; pistil globose, insect-attacked. 
Gall fl. pedicelled, perianth of the male; achene subglobose, smooth ; style short, 
lateral ; stigma capitate. Fem. fl. (in globose receptacles without male fl.) ; perianth 
hairy, gamophyllous, with 4 long teeth; achene oblong; style lateral; stigma 
elongate.— Truly dicecious. The ovoid receptacles with male fl. and gall fl. occur 
only in the erect shrubby form ; those with globose receptacles bear only fem. fi., and 
are semi-scandent epiphytes.

many or all of which disappear with age, leaving the under surface hard, sub- 
scaberulous, glabrous or glabrescent; nerves 2-3 pairs, nervules transverse, re- 
ticulations distinct, all prominent beneath ; petiole 3-1 in., stout, hispid-pubescent ; 
stipules small, ovate, acute, hirsute, about } in. long. Male fl. few, under the oval 
-bracts with the gall flowers; perianth gamophyllous, lobes 5, narrow, elongate ; 
stamen 1, base of filament adnate to the pedicel of a pistillode. Gall fl. large 
rounded; perianth of the male; style short, lateral; stigma dilated. Fem. Jt. 
with a gamophyllous perianth deeply divided into three linear-lanceolate segments? 
achene reniform-ovoid; style rather long, subterminal, stigma cylindric.—Allie? 
to F. urophylla, but is a much larger species. The receptacles with male and gè 
flowers are slightly larger and more umbonate than those with female flowers.
