1-1} in. ; stipules 3-1 in., ovate, acuminate, convolute. Male fl. over whole interior of 
the receptacle, pedicels thick, sepals 4; anther 1, sessile, elongate. Gall ft. pedicelled 
or sessile ; sepals 5, distinct ; ovary smooth ; style elongate, lateral ; stigma elongate, 
flat, bilobed. Fem. fl. sessile, globose, tubercled ; style long; stigma clavate; 
perianth degenerating into a glairy cellular mass.—A remarkable and very distinct 
species. The leaves are very pale when dry. 
21. F. consociata, Blume Bijd. 447; young parts especially the 
leaves beneath basal bracts and stipules densely covered with reddish-brown 
flocculent deciduous tomentum, otherwise glabrous, leaves coriaceous nar- 
rowly elliptic or oblanceolate (broadly subobovate-elliptic in var. Murtoni) 
with a rather short obtuse cusp entire, base narrowed 3-nerved, recep- 
tacles crowded near the apices of the branches axillary sessile depressed- 
spheroidal young flocculent ripe glabrous about 1-3 in. diam., apical bracts 
flat shining, basal 3 broadly ovate keeled sometimes bifid. King Fic. 38,

Concave; anther single, sessile. Gall and fem. fi. similar, sessile, sepals 5. Gall 
achene ovoid-reniform; fem. achene broadly ovoid, tubercled.—The perianth degene- 
rates into gelatinous tissue. 24. 
AR. Murtoni ; all parts larger less flocculent, leaves subovately elliptic to ovate 
Obtuse base rounded or cordate, receptacles 3 in. diam.—Malacca and Perak.—Inter- 
mediate between Javan F. procera, Bl., and consociata, approaching the former in the 
More or less ovate leaves, large receptacles, and smooth coriaceous basal bracts, and 
to consociata in the tomentum. 
22. P. rigida, Mig. in Ann. Mus. iii. 280; perfectly glabrous, leaves 
petioled coriaceous lanceolate acuminate or broadly oblanceolate shortly and 
acutely cuspidate, margins entire recurved, base acute 3-nerved, receptacles 
Sessile in axillary pairs subglobose smooth + in. diam., basal bracts 3 large
