In many respects var. intermedia is almost exactly intermediate between 
typical F. Leprieuri and the plant described by Warburg as F. furcata; the 
first mentioned has the stalked receptacles of F. Leprieuri, but the more rounded 
leaves of F. furcata. Were this intermediate form not present, the extreme 
form might well be taken to be distinct species. 
91. F. pilosula, De Wild. in Fedde, Repert. xii. 199. Branchlets 
fairly slender, straw-coloured, angular when dry, glabrous. Leaves 
oblanceolate or obtriangular, broadly truncate at the apex, mostly 
cuneate to the base, 13-34 in. long, #-14 in. broad, entire, coria ceous, 
glabrous and dull on both surfaces; midrib flat above, prominent 
below, straw-coloured, branched 4-3 in. below the apex of the blade ; 
lateral nerves 5-7 on each side, diverging from it at an angle of 45°, 
very slender, looped near the margin ; veins rather obscure ; petiole 
in. long, grooved, glabrous ; stipules persistent or subpersistent, 
lanceolate, subacute, 3 lin. long, puberulous outside. Receptacles 
axillary, sessile, geminate, depressed-globose, 3-4$ lin. in diam., 
pilose. Basal bracts 2, ovate, subpersistent, shortly rusty-tomentose 
outside. Ostiole small and pore-like, inconspicuous ; bracts few, 
all descending into the receptacle, glabrous. Male flowers with a 
Solitary stamen. Female flowers sessile, gall ones stalked.—De 
Wild. in Bull. Soc. Bot. Belg. lii. 222.

92. F. luteola, De Wild. in Fedde, Repert. xii. 199. Branchlets 
angular, glabrous. Leaves oblanceolate, broadly truncate at the 
apex, cuneate at the base, 14-3 in. long, 1} in. broad, otherwise 
as in F. pilosula, De Wild., but rather oblique and mostly broader 
across the top ; petiole }-1 in. long, smooth ; stipules subpersistent, 
lanceolate, nearly 2 lin. long, glabrous. Receptacles as in F. pilosula, 
but only pubescent around the base and at length glabrous or nearly 
80.—De Wild. in Bull. Soc. Bot. Belg. lii. 218. F. craterostoma,
