53. F. ealaensis, De Wild, in Fedde, Repert. xii. 194, 198. An 

 epiphyte ; branchlets about 5 lin. in diam., glabrous. Leaves 

 oblong-elliptic, rounded or subcordate at the base, abruptly acumi- 

 nate, subacute, 6-7J in. long, 3-4 in. broad, entire, subcoriaceous, 

 glabrous on both surfaces ; midrib prominent below, continued to 

 the apex of the acumen ; lateral nerves about 9 on each side of the 

 midrib, diverging from it at a wide angle, slightly arcuate, looped near 

 the margin, forming an intramarginal nerve about 2 lin. from the 

 margin ; venation distinct below ; petiole 2^-4 J in. long, | lin. 

 thick, broader towards the base, glabrous ; stipules not seen, early 

 caducous. Keceptacles fasciculate on more or less prominent 

 cushions, pedunculate, globose, J in. in diam., very minutely puber- 

 ulous ; peduncle J in. long, f lin. thick, finely puberulous. Basal 

 bracts caducous, connate at the base into a glabrous fiat orbicular 

 disc-like body closely adpressed to the receptacle. Ostiole incon- 

 spicuous, 2-lipped ; bracts all descending into the receptacle, acute'y 

 acuminate, glabrous. Male flowers pedicellate ; perianth-segments 

 spathulate, membranous. Stamen solitary ; filament J lin. long ; 

 anther broadly oblong, with a thick keeled connective at the back. 

 Female flowers subsessile, with rather short perianth-segments. 

 Achene subglobose, smooth, slightly fleshy outside ; style laterally 

 attached, nearly as long as the achene, with a rather broad stigma. —

54. F. usambarensis, Warh. in Engl. Jahrh. xx. 159. A tree 

 160 ft. high ; young branchlets stout, with smooth bruwn bark ; 

 terminal buds acute, finely puberulous. Leaves elliptic or oblong- 

 elliptic, rounded at both ends or very obtuse at the base, 4-6 in. long, 

 lf-3 in. broad, entire, coriaceous, dull and glabrous on both surfaces, 

 finely reticulate below ; midrib somewhat })rominent on both surfaces, 

 about IJ lin. broad at the base on the lower surface, gradually 

 tapered to the apex of the blade, sometimes slightly zig-zag at the 

 top ; lateral nerves 11-14 on each side of the midrib, diverging from it 

 at an angle of about 65°, equally prominent on both surfaces, nearly 

 straight, looped near the margin ; tertiary nerves slightly less 

 prominent than the lateral ones and following their direction, rather
