stipules about 3 in., puberulous. Male fl. few, only near the mouth of the receptacles, 
sessile; sepals 3, lanceolate, not quite covering the single stamen; anther ovate- 
apiculate, filament as long. Gall and fem. fl. sessile or pedicelled; perianth 4- 
toothed, shorter than the ovary; gall ovary ovoid; achene broadly triangular ovoid, 
— Differs from Wightiana and any form of infectoria in the straighter, more numerous 
and spreading nerves and longer peduncles,

The Deccan PENINSULA and CEYLON, ascending to 4000 ft. ; 
A very tall tree without aerial roots. Leaves 5-7} in.; nerves 7-10 pairs, 
slightly prominent on both surfaces; petiole 13-21 in., slender; stipules small, ovate- 
lanceolate, 4 in.; leaf-scales of young branches large, linear-lanceolate, f 
caducous, 3-5 iu. Male fl. few, only near the mouth of the receptacle, sessie i 
sepals 3, ovate, shorter than the single stamen ; anther ovate, filament about as long: 
Gall aud fem. fl. alike; sepals 3 or 4; achene obovate; style elongate, SET. 
cylindric.—A distinct and beautiful species, allied to F. infectoria, Roxb.» w 
which it has been confused. It is distinguishable by its minute receptacles 1 t 
of 4to 6, and when dry by the dark greenish-grey leaves, with the upper surface vA 
aud glistening. The large, membranous, caducous, flaccid leaf-scales resemble s 
stipules of F. elastica, but are more fugacious. A small form collected. by - i 
Gamble in the Cuddipore Forests has leaves only about 3j in. long.—Un er
