152 CXXIIIc. MORACE (Hutchinson). [ Ficus. 
80. F. Winkleri, Mildbr. & Burret in Engl. Jahrb. xlvi. 236, 
partly. A tree; branchlets about } in. in diam. near the apex, 
glabrous. Leaves obovate-elliptic, caudate-acuminate and in one 
leaf seen with a large obtuse tooth near the acumen, narrowed to or 
slightly rounded at the base, 7-9 in. long, 24-33 in. broad, coriaceous, 
glabrous and dull on both surfaces, brown below, with thick pale- 
coloured nerves and venation ; midrib very prominent below, about 
13 lin. broad at the base, gradually narrowed to the apex of the 
acumen; lateral nerves 7-8 on each side of the midrib, diverging 
from it at an angle of 45° or slightly more, the lower subopposite, 
prominently looped about 2 lin. from the margin; tertiary nerves 
lax and much-branched, forming with the veins a rather close 
nervation very conspicuous below, but not visible above ; acumen 
narrow, subacute, 1 in. long; petiole stout, }-1 in. long, 13 lin. 
thick, glabrous, covered with a thin brown deciduous epidermis ; 
stipules intrapetiolar, clasping the stem, much broken in the speci- 
men seen but probably mostly lanceolate, acutely acuminate, about 
2 in. long, membranous, striate, glabrous. Receptacles axillary, 
solitary (2), sessile, not stipitate, depressed-globose, with a small 
shortly protruding ostiole at the apex, a little over 4 in. in diam., 
strigillose-pubescent, reticulately wrinkled when dry. Basal bracts 
not seen complete, but evidently 2 and closely adpressed to the base 
of the receptacle, membranous and glabrous. Ostiole 2-lipped, 
with no bracts visible from the outside ; channel about } lin. wide 
and 13 lin. long; bracts descending into the receptacle, ovate- 
subulate, glabrous. Perfect flowers not seen. 
Upper Guinea. Cameroons: Victoria, forest near the Botanical garden, 
Winkler, 1204! 
Chevalier’s plant (12989) from French Guinea, which was included in this 
species by Mildbraed and Burret, represents quite a distinct species, F. tesselata, 
Warb., with much more shortly and obtusely acuminate leaves and larger figs 
with very long beaks. 
81. F. Preussii, Warb. in Engl. Jahrb. xx. 156. Branchlets 
sulcate when dry, covered with greyish glabrous bark. Leaves not 
crowded, large, slightly obliquely oblong or oblong-oblanceolate, 
shortly and obtusely acuminate, rounded at the base, 9—11 in. long, 
23-3} in. broad, entire, chartaceous, glabrous, closely reticulate 
below; midrib slightly immersed above, prominent and rather 
broad below ; lateral nerves 6-7 on each side, spreading from the 
midrib at an angle of about 45°, looped, the loops forming an irregular 
line 2-3 lin. from the margin ; veins forming a close distinct network 
below, not visible above ; petiole 1-12 in. long, about 14 lin. thick, 
deeply and narrowly sulcate when dry, with deciduous epidermis ; 
stipules persistent or subpersistent, ovate-lanceolate, acute Oo 
subacute, about # in. long and 4 lin. broad, submembranous, glabrous, 
faintly striate. Receptacles supra-axillary, _ sessile, subglobose,
