67. F. sagittifolia, Warb. ex Mildbr. & Burret in Engl. Jahrb. 
xlvi. 241. An epiphyte on the Oil palm; branchlets stout, glabrous. 
Leaves elongate-pandurate, subacutely caudate-acuminate, narrowly 
cordate at the base, 1 ft. or slightly more long, 24-3 in. broad across 
the widest part, entire except at the rounded obscurely angular 
or dentate or occasionally somewhat hastate base, rigidly coriaceous, 
slightly shining or dull and glabrous on both surfaces, about 5-nerved 
at the base, remaining lateral nerves about 15 on each side, spreading 
from the midrib at an angle of slightly more than 45°, prominent 
on both surfaces, looped, the loops forming an irregular continuous 
parallel line about 1} lin. from the margin ; tertiary nerves and veins 
very close and prominent on both surfaces; midrib very thick at 
the base on the lower surface, gradually tapered to the apex, narrow 
above ; petiole stout, 3? in. long, about 23 lin. broad, glabrous ; 
stipules persistent, ovate-lanceolate, acutely acuminate, } to nearly 
in. long, membranous, glabrous, brown when dry. — Receptacles in 
axillary pairs, sessile, globose, about # in. in diam., minutely puberu- 
lous. Basal bracts 2, ovate, obtuse, keeled, 14-2 lin. long and broad, 
very coriaceous, slightly puberulous. Ostiolar bracts numerous, all 
descending vertically into the receptacle, subulate or subulate- 
lanceolate, very acute, 1-2 lin. long, reddish in the middle, with 
membranous hyaline margins. Male flowers few, sessile in the lower 
part of the receptacle ; perianth-segments 3, lanceolate, subacute, 
membranous ; anther sessile, solitary, ? lin. long, with a very broad 
and laterally flattened connective. Female flowers sessile, scattered 
amongst the gall flowers, with a fleshy perianth adherent to ae 
Ovary ; style a little longer than the ovary, slender, with a thickene 
oblong stigma. Gall flowers similar to the female but pedicellate 
and with a shorter style.
