Ellenbeck, 1634, from Schoa, Somaliland, included by Mildbraed and Burret

and softly tomentose. 
5. F. gongoensis, De Wild. in Fedde, Repert. xii. 196. <A tree; 
young branchlets more or less terete, with deciduous bark. Leaves 
elliptic or obovate, narrowly acuminate, rounded or cordate at the 
base, 33-8 in. long, 2-44 in. broad, glabrous, distinctly 3-nerved at 
the base, remaining lateral nerves 6-7 on each side, slightly impressed 
above, prominent below. Receptacles arranged in panicles up to 
24 in. long, globose or pear-shaped, more or less stipitate, up to $ in. 
long and 5 lin. broad, densely velvety hirsute, mammillate at the 
apex, with a bracteate ostiole; peduncle up to nearly 4 in. long, 
velvety with spreading hairs. Basal bracts connate into a 2-3- 
lobulate disc. Flowers more or less as in F. mallotocarpa.—De

6. F. Mucuso, Welw. ex Ficalho, Pl. Uteis, 270. A small tree, 
10-12 ft. high, or in some localities a large spreading tree ; branchlets 
covered with a brown scaly bark; young branchlets villous neat 
the leaf-bases with reddish hairs. Leaves few and usually confined 
to the tips of the branchlets, suborbicular, cordate at the base, 
shortly and rather abruptly acuminate, 2-6 in. in diam., entire oF 
with slightly undulate margins, subchartaceous, slightly scabrous 
on both surfaces, puberulous below and scattered-pilose on the 
midrib and lateral nerves, rarely softly pubescent below; midri 
prominent below, gradually tapered to the apex of the blade ; lateral 
nerves about 5 on each side of the midrib, diverging from it at an angle 
of about 45°, the basal pair with several lateral nerves radiating to the | 
margin on their lower side, the remainder often branched near the 
margin ; tertiary nerves prominent below, parallel, 1-1} lin. apart; 
veins forming a close delicate reticulation below; petiole 1-1} 1 
long, shortly tomentose and sparingly long-pilose ; stipules deciduous, 
those enclosing the terminal bud ovate, acutely acuminate, about 
1 in. long, setose-villous with rust-coloured hairs outside. Receptacles 
pear-shaped or slightly club-shaped, paniculate on the stronger mala 
branches, pedunculate, obovoid or subglobose, variable in size, UP 
to 2} in. in diam., very finely puberulous, smooth ; peduncle about 
3 in. long. Basal bracts 3, whorled, subcoriaceous. Ostiole prom 
nent, with several bracts exserted from the mouth, the other bracts
