midrib at an angle of 45°, looped some distance from the margin, 

 loops forming a deeply crenate line about \h lin. from the margin ; 

 veins close and rather fine below, forming an areolate-reticulate 

 venation ; petiole |-1J in. long, ribbed when dry, covered with 

 glabrous deciduous bark ; stipules persistent, lanceolate, acute, 

 I in. long, about 4 lin. broad at the base, membranous, glabrous. 

 Receptacles axillary, solitary or in pairs, sessile, globose, contracted 

 at the apex into a beak about 2 lin. long, rather densely hispid, nearly 

 glabrous around the ostiole. Basal bracts probably 2, soon splitting 

 up, membranous, glabrous. Ostiole 2-lippal ; orifice 4 lin. long, 

 very narrow ; bracts small, descending. Male flowers few, subsessile ; 

 perianth-segments 3, lanceolate, acate, membranous, glabrous 

 Stamen solitary ; filament short ; anther J lin. long, shortly mu- 

 cronate. Female flowers sessile ; perianth-segments 3, linear- 

 lanceolate, very acute, membranous, as long as the achene ; achene 

 obliquely ellipsoid, shining ; style lateral, as long as the achene ; 

 stigma shortly 2-fid. Receptacular scales linear-subulate, acute, 

 1^ lin. long, membranous, glabrous. — F. Winkleri, Mildbr. & Burret

73. F. camptoneura, Mildbr. in Engl. Jahrh. xlvi. 233, jtarilij, 

 and excL var. A tree 25 ft. high or a climbing shrub ; branchlets 

 glabrous or slightly puberulous, angular when dry, covered with grey 

 bark. Leaves elliptic, oblong-oblanceolate or oblanceolate. gradually 

 and acutely or subacutely acuminate (acumen |-1 in. long), rounded 

 or narrowed at the base, 4|-9 in. long, 1-i in. broad, entire, rigidly 

 chartaceous or subcoriaceous, glabrous and dull on both surfaces 

 or slightly shining below, strongly and closely reticulate below ; 

 midrib flat above, prominent below, nearly J lin. broad at the base, 

 gradually tapered to the apex of the blade ; lateral nerves 4-5 on 

 each side, looped a long way from the margin, often with a second 

 intramarginal nerve between the loops and the margin, prominent 

 below; petiole |-f in. long, narrowly sulcate, glabrous; stipules 

 persistent, linear-subulate to lanceolate, very acute, about ^-.J in. 

 long, rigidly chartaceous, slightly puberulous or almost glabrous. 

 Receptacles axillary, solitary, subsessile or pedunculate, globose, 

 nearly J in. in diam., glabrous and often very slightly tuberculate ; 

 peduncles (when present) about J in. long, nearly J lin. thick, glabrous. 

 Basal bracts deciduous but probably 2, connate at the base. Ostiole 

 not prominent, 2 -lipped ; mouth J lin. vnde: bracts not visible 

 from the outside, the up])er spreading trans versiy across the ostiole. 

 the lower small and subulate-lanceolate, pointing into the receptacle, 

 glabrous. Male flowers scosile ; perianth-segments 3, oblong,
