12. F. gnaphalocarpa, A. Rich. Tent. Fl. Abyss. ii. 270. A large 
spreading tree; branchlets pilose when young. Leaves orbicular 
or ovate-orbicular, rounded at the apex, cordate at the base, 2-5 in. 
long, 14-3 in. broad, rigidly coriaceous, subentire or obtusely serrate, 
scabrous on both surfaces, pilose on the nerves; midrib prominent 
below, continued to the apex of the leaf-blade; nerves several 
radiating from the base, the principal basal pair as in F. Sycomorus ; 
remaining lateral ones 4-5 on each side of the midrib, diverging from 
it at an angle of about 45°, prominent below, branched towards the 
margin; veins as in F. Sycomorus ; petiole $3 in. long, pilose or 
at length becoming glabrous; stipules subpersistent, lanceolate or 
linear-lanceolate, acutely acuminate, 3-3 in. long, tomentose outside, 
glabrescent towards the margin. Receptacles axillary, solitary, 
pedunculate, pear-shaped or somewhat globose, often stipitate, 
about 14 in. long and nearly as much in diam., densely tomentose ; 
peduncle ¢-? in. long, stout, tomentose, the hairs at length often 
falling off. Basal bracts in a whorl of 3 at the apex of the peduncle 
or sometimes the bracts scattered over the receptacle, triangular- 
ovate, obtuse, about 14 lin. long and broad, pubescent outside. 
Ostiolar bracts spreading horizontally across the orifice, the outer 
pubescent outside, the innermost descending vertically into the 
receptacle, linear from a broad rounded base, obtuse, } in. long; 
glabrous. Male flowers sessile, with 2 stamens. Female flowers 
shortly pedicellate; perianth-segments membranous, acutely 
acuminate ; achene obovoid, smooth; style lateral with a terete 
thicker stigma.—Mildbr. & Burret in Engl. Jahrb. xlvi. 190. Syco-
