194 OXXIlIc. MORACE (Hutchinson). [ Ficus. 
annular pubescent rim. Ostiole prominent, small, 2-lipped ; bracts 
few, all pointing into the receptacle, not visible from the outside, 
glabrous. Male flowers with a short very stout pedicel ; perianth- 
segments slightly membranous, glabrous. Anther solitary, obtuse. 
Female flowers sessile: achene subglobose, smooth ; style lateral, 
slender, a little shorter than the achene. Gall flowers pedicellate.—

Allied to F. mittuensis, Warb., and F. discifera, Warb.; from the former it 
may be readily distinguished by the softly tomentose young branchlets and 
under surface of the leaves in which the midrib is continuous to the apex of 
the blade, and from the latter by its hairiness, its more prominent ostiole, and 
the shape of the bracteate basal invelucre. 
144. F. budduensis, Hutchinson in Kew Bulletin, 1915, 340. A 
tree 20-30 ft. high; branchlets shortly tomentose when young, at length 
sparingly pubescent. Leaves ovate or ovate-elliptic, very slightly 
cordate at the base, rounded at the apex, about 6 in. long and 44 in, 
broad, entire, rigidly coriaceous, puberulous on the midrib above, 
otherwise glabrous, softly tomentose below; midrib flat above, 
prominent below, about 1} lin. broad at the base, gradually tapered 
to the apex; basal nerves 5; lateral nerves about 7 on each side 
of the midrib, the lower opposite, the upper subalternate, diverging 
from the midrib at an angle of 45°, bifurcate 3-3 in. from the margin, 
very distinct above, prominent below; tertiary nerves faint, lax, 
wavy ; petiole 14-1} in. long, softly and rather densely pubescent ; 
stipules caducous, not seen. Receptacles axillary, 2-3 together, 
pedunculate, globose, about ? in. in diam., smooth, finely puberulous ; 
peduncles 44 lin. long, stout, shortly tomentose. Basal bracts soon 
falling off, connate at the base, shortly tomentose outside. _Ostiole 
2-lipped, gaping in the dry state, slightly produced ; mouth about 
1 lin. wide. Bracts numerous, all descending into the receptacle, sub- 
equal, linear-subulate, acute, 1} lin. long, submembranous, glabrous. 
Male flowers small, subsessile; perianth membranous. Stamen 
solitary ; filament up to ? lin. long; anther subobtuse, } lin. long. 
Female flowers subsessile ; perianth-segments subulate-lanceolate, 
acutely acuminate, membranous, glabrous. Achene oblong, ? lin. 
long, smooth; style nearly as long as the achene, with a very 
thick oblong-linear stigma.

Closely allied to F. vasta, Forsk., but with larger figs on longer peduncles and 
less cordate leaves. 
145. F. vasta, Forsk. Fl. Aigypt.-Arab. 179. A huge tree; young 
branchlets stout, softly and densely tomentose. Leaves large, 
very broadly ovate or ovate-orbicular, mostly rather deeply cordate
