160. F. mangiferoides, Hutchinson in Kew Bulletin, 1915, 342. 
Branchlets fairly stout, angular and prominently marked with 
blackish lenticels when dry, slightly pubescent when young, at 
length glabrous. Leaves oblong or oblong-lanceolate, gradually 
and rather obtusely acuminate, rounded or slightly cordate at the 
base, 54-12 in. long, 13-3} in. broad, entire, coriaceous, dull and 
glabrous on both surfaces or slightly shining above; midrib flat 
above, prominent below, 1} lin. broad at the base, gradually tapered 
to the apex of the blade; lateral nerves numerous, 15-20 on each side 
of the midrib, diverging from it almost at right angles, slender, 
distinct on both surfaces, looped about 1} lin. from the margin ; 
tertiary nerves only slightly less prominent than the lateral and 
parallel with them, distinct on both surfaces; veins fairly close 
below ; petiole short, 3-1 in. long, 14-2 lin. thick, slightly verrucose, 
glabrous; stipules caducous, lanceolate, acuminate, ? in. long, 
Corlaceous, glabrous or nearly so. Receptacles axillary, pedunculate, 
depressed-globose, about 34 lin. in diam., slightly verrucose and very 
sparingly pubescent when dry ; peduncle 4 lin. long, slender, glabrous. 
Basal bracts caducous, persistent at the base, slightly pubescent 
outside. Ostiole minute and pore-like ; bracts all descending into

Mostly with the nerves somewhat straw-coloured when dry, glabrous 
on both surfaces; midrib impressed above, prominent below, in 
the larger leaves about 1} lin. broad at the base, only slightly tapered 
to the apex, conspicuous and forming a keel to the acumen ; lateral 
nerves numerous, 16-20 on each side of the midrib, diverging from 
it almost at right angles, slender, looped, the loops forming an
