30 ft. high ; young branchlets short and slender, glabrous, covered 
with smooth light coloured bark ; three-year-old shoots bearing the 
figs. Leaves oblong or oblong-elliptic, gradually and obtusely 
acuminate, rounded or subtruncate at the base, 14-3 in. long, 3-1} in. 
broad, entire, membranous, glabrous on both surfaces, finely reticu- 
late below ; midrib slightly prominent below, narrow ; lateral nerves 
6-7 on each side of the midrib, diverging from it at an angle of about 
65°, very slender, distinct on both surfaces, slightly raised below, 
looped near the margin ; petiole }-13 in. long, very slender, glabrous ; 
stipules deciduous, not seen. Receptacles fasciculate on the older 
parts of the branches, pedunculate, ellipsoid or slightly obovoid, 
about 4 in. long, wrinkled when dry, glabrous; peduncle rather 
slender, 3-1 in. long, thickened towards the top, glabrous. Basal 
bracts 3, soon falling off, ovate, obtuse, 3 lin. long, submembranous, 
glabrous. Ostiole not prominent, very minute, 2-lipped; bracts 
humerous, all descending into the receptacle, subulate-lanceolate. 
Male flowers pedicellate ; perianth-segments membranous, obtuse. 
Stamen solitary ; filament rather slender ; anther ellipsoid. Female 
flowers subsessile, with a small perianth ; achene broadly ovoid, 
shining ; style lateral, slender, nearly as long as the achene, with an 
oblong stigma. Gall flowers pedicellate, with a short style and very 
thick stigma.—Warb. in Engl. Pfl. Ost-Afr. C. 162, t. x. figs. F-K ;
