186 CXXIIIc. MORACEZ (Hutchinson). [ Fieus. 
elliptic-oblanceolate, glabrous; stamen solitary; filament 3 lin. 
long; anther spreading horizontally on dehiscence. Female flowers 
sessile ; perianth-segments triangular, acute; achene subglobose, 
smooth ; style short. Gall flowers pedicellate. 
Upper Guinea. Sierra Leone: by a stream about 500 ft. above sea-level, 
near Bathurst, Johnston, 88! French Guinea: neighbourhood of Kindur, 
Pobéguin, 1282! 
184. F. aganophila, Hutchinson in Kew Bulletin, 1915, 338. A tree 
50 ft. high ; young branches and branchlets shallowly sulcate when 
dry, purplish, glabrous. Leaves elliptic or oblong-elliptic, rounded 
or subtruncate at the base, shortly and subcaudately acuminate at 
the apex, 34-7 in. long, 13-34 in. broad, entire, coriaceous, glabrous 
on both surfaces, very slightly shining above ; midrib slightly raised 
above, very prominent below, about 1} lin. broad at the base, gradu- 
ally tapered to and becoming very slender at the apex of the acumen ; 
lateral nerves 10-12 on each side of the midrib, diverging from it at 
a wide angle, slightly curved, looped 1-2 lin. from the margin, the 
loops forming a distinct intramarginal nerve prominent below; 
tertiary nerves scarcely less prominent than the lateral and following 
their direction ; veins rather slender and faint ; petiole }—1 in. long, 
up to 2 lin. thick, becoming black when dry, glabrous ; stipules 
caducous. Receptacles seen only in a very young condition, axillary, 
probably sessile. 
Upper Guinea. Southern Nigeria: Lagos; Kradu Lagoon, near Jalavu 
Island, Barter, 3238 ! 
Lower Guinea. Spanish Guinea: Uelleburg, Tessmann, 434 ! 
Tessmann’s specimen consists only of leaves and a branchlet, but I have no 
doubt that it is the same as Barter’s from Nigeria. 
135. F. arcuatonervata, De Wild. ex Hutchinson in Kew Bulletin, 
1915, 339. An epiphytic shrub when young; branchlets rather sharply 
angular, glabrous. Leaves oblanceolate, gradually acuminate, 
the acumen 4-3 in. long, obtuse, narrowed to the base, 3$-5 m. 
long, 14-14 in. broad, entire, chartaceous, finely verrucose on the 
upper surface, glabrous below; midrib flat above, prominent below, 
about 1 lin. broad at the base, gradually tapered to and becoming 
very slender at the apex of the blade ; lateral nerves about 5 on each 
side of the midrib, diverging from it at an angle of 45°, arcuate, 
looped some distance from the margin, prominent and pale-coloured 
below; tertiary nerves primarily following the direction of the 
lateral, very slender, eventually branching, distinct below ; petiole 
3-4 lin. long, covered with glabrous thin transversely splitting 
deciduous bark ; stipules early deciduous. Receptacles in axillary 
pairs, or perhaps sometimes solitary, sessile, obovoid-globose, 
lin. in diam., glabrous. Basal bracts 2, more or less semicircular, 
small, with submembranous margins which break up and fall away, 
glabrous. Ostiole small and inconspicuous, 2-lipped ; bracts all
