12. F. gnaphalocarpa, A. Rich. Tent, Fl. Abyss, ii. 270. A large 

 spreading tree ; branchlets pilose when young. Leaves orbicular 

 or ovate-orbicular, rounded at the apex, cordate at the base, 2-5 in. 

 long, 1 J-3 in. broad, rigidly coriaceous, subentire or obtusely serrate, 

 scabrous on both surfaces, pilose on the nerves ; midrib' prominent 

 below, continued to the apex of the leaf-blade ; nerves several 

 radiating from the base, the principal basal pair as in F. Sycomorus ; 

 remaining lateral ones 4-5 on each side of the midrib, diverging from 

 it at an angle of about 45°, prominent below, branched towards the 

 margin ; veins as in F. Sycomorus ; petiole J-S in. long, pilose or 

 at length becoming glabrous ; stipules subpersistent, lanceolate or 

 linear-lanceolate, acutely acuminate, |— | in. long, tomentose outside, 

 glabrescent towards the margin. Receptacles axillary, solitary, 

 pedunculate, pear-shaped or somewhat globose, often stipitate, 

 about IJ in. long and nearly as much in diam., densely tomentose ; 

 peduncle J-| in. long, stout, tomentose, the hairs at length often 

 falling off. Basal bracts in a whorl of 3 at the apex of the peduncle 

 or sometimes the bracts scattered over the receptacle, triangular- 

 ovate, obtuse, about IJ lin. long and broad, pubescent outside. 

 Ostiolar bracts spreading horizontally across the orifice, the outer 

 pubescent outside, the innermost descending vertically into the 

 receptacle, linear from a broad rounded base, obtuse, J in. long, 

 glabrous. Male flowers sessile, with 2 stamens. Female flowers 

 shortly pedicellate ; perianth-segments membranous, acutely 

 acuminate ; achene obovoid, smooth ; style lateral with a terete 

 thicker stigma.— Mildbr. & Burret in Engl. Jahrb. xlvi. 190. Syco-
