Occurs also in Natal and extra-tropical Transvaal. 
According to Rand the tree contains abundant milky juice, which often 
escapes spontaneously and falls upon the dense dark green foliage below and 
stains it white, the tree being then recognizable at some distance. 
Sim states that examples of this species are abundant on the dry rocky slopes 
of =e oe range and that they are often the only occupants of the dry 
solid rocks. 
110. F. Stuhlmannii, Warb. in Engl. Jahrb. xx. 161. A tree 
about 30 ft. high; stem about 2 ft. in thickness; branchlets fairly 
stout, ribbed, pilose with whitish or slightly fuscous hairs especially 
when young. Leaves oblong, rounded at the apex, cordate at the 
base, 3-53 in. long, 1}-2# in. broad, entire, rigidly chartaceous o 
subcoriaceous, thinly pubescent especially near the midrib and with 
slightly impressed venation on the upper surface, softly tomentose 
or densely pubescent below ; lateral nerves 4-5 on each side of the 
midrib, diverging from it at an angle of 45°, nearly straight, loo 
some distance from the margin, prominent below ; tertiary nerves 
few, forming with the veins a close prominent venation below; 
petiole 3-14 in. long, stout, grooved above, otherwise subterete, 
softly pubescent ; stipules deciduous, those surrounding the terminal 
bud more or less lanceolate, adpressed-villous outside, glabrescent 
towards the margin. Receptacles axillary, probably solitary, sessile, 
globose, } in. in diam. or slightly more, densely tomentose. Basal 
bracts connate at the base, adpressed-villous outside, glabrous withm.
