base, the apex rather slenderly acuminate, margins distantly 
and not very conspicuously dentate, the upper surface rather 
harsh from scattered, short, stiff, spreading hairs from thick- 
ened bases, the midrib on both surfaces rather densely ciliate- 
hispid, the lower surface with scattered, stiff, short hairs on the 
nerves and reticulations; lateral nerves above the basal pair 
about 8 on each side of the midrib, spreading, curved, arched- 
anastomosing near the margin, very prominent on the lower 
surface, the reticulations lax, prominent; petioles exceedingly 
variable in length, 1 to 7 em long, more-or less hispid; stipules 
lanceolate, acuminate, about 8 mm long, pubescent. Receptacles 
axillary, solitary, yellow when fresh, globose, sessile, 10 to 12 
mm in diameter, hispid with short, stiff, scattered hairs, the 
basal bracts broadly ovate, acute, sparingly pubescent, about 2 
mm long. Male flowers few and only near the ostiole, their 
pedicels about 1 mm long, conspicuously ciliate with long spread- 
ing hairs; segments 4, oblong-obovate to oblong, membranaceous, 
1.5 mm long, glabrous or with very few hairs; stamens 2, the 
anthers about 0.8 mm long. Gall flowers very numerous, their 
pedicels slender up to 3 mm long, densely ciliate with long white 
hairs, 1.5 to 2 mm long; segments membranaceous, spatulate, 
prominently ciliate with long, white, 2 to 2.5 mm long hairs. 
Fertile female flowers in separate receptacles, similar to the 
gall flowers, their segments shorter; ovary inequilaterally obo- 
void, about 1.2 mm long, rather conspicuously rugose and dis- 
tinctly keeled on the inflated side; styles glabrous, 1.5 mm long.

This characteristic species is manifestly allied to Ficus leu- 
coptera Miq., from which it is distinguished by many characters, 
notably its sessile receptacles; its scattered, stiff, short, hispid 
hairs, and the entire absence of soft appressed hairs; its den- 
tate leaf margins; and its conspicuously long-ciliate pedicels and 
perianth segments.
