53. F. ealensis, De Wild. in Fedde, Repert. xii. 194, 198. An 
epiphyte; branchlets about 5 lin. in diam., glabrous. Leaves 
oblong-elliptic, rounded or subcordate at the base, abruptly acumi- 
nate, subacute, 6-74 in. long, 3-4 in. broad, entire, subcoriaceous, 
glabrous on both surfaces; midrib prominent below, continued to 
the apex of the acumen; lateral nerves about.9 on each side of the 
midrib, diverging from it at a wide angle, slightly arcuate, looped near 
the margin, forming an intramarginal nerve about 2 lin. from the 
margin; venation distinct below; petiole 24-44 in. long, 3 lin. 
thick, broader towards the base, glabrous ; stipules not seen, early 
caducous. Receptacles fasciculate on more or less prominent 
cushions, pedunculate, globose, } in. in diam., very minutely puber- 
ulous ; peduncle 3 in. long, 3 lin. thick, finely puberulous. Basal 
bracts caducous, connate at the base into a glabrous flat orbicular 
disc-like body closely adpressed to the receptacle. Ostiole incon- 
spicuous, 2-lipped ; bracts all descending into the receptacle, acutely 
acuminate, glabrous. Male flowers pedicellate ; perianth-segments 
spathulate, membranous. Stamen solitary ; filament } lin. long ; 
anther broadly oblong, with a thick keeled connective at the back. 
Female flowers subsessile, with rather short perianth-segments. 
Achene subglobose, smooth, slightly fleshy outside ; style laterally 
attached, nearly as long as the achene, with a rather broad stigma.—

54. F. usambarensis, Warb. in Engl. Jahrb. xx. 159. A tree 
169 ft. high ; young branchlets stout, with smooth brown bark ; 
terminal buds acute, finely puberulous. Leaves elliptic or oblong- 
eluptic, rounded at both ends or very obtuse at the base, 4-6 in. long, 
in. broad, entire, coriaceous, dull and glabrous on both surfaces, 
ely reticulate below ; midrib somewhat prominent on both surfaces, 
about 1} lin. broad at the base on the lower surface, gradually 
tapered to the apex of the blade, sometimes slightly zig-zag at the 
top ; lateral nerves 11-14 on each side of the midrib, diverging from it 
at an angle of about 65°, equally prominent on both surfaces, nearly 
Straight, looped near the margin; tertiary nerves slightly less 
Prominent than the lateral ones and following their direction, rather
