74. F. camptoneuroides, Hutchinson in Kew Bulletin, 1915. 326. 

 A large epiphytic shrub or small tree up to 25 ft. high ; branchlets 

 slender, sharply angular or ribbed when dry, glabrous. Leaves 

 elliptic or oblong-elliptic, gradually and obtusely acuminate (acumen 

 nearly | in. long), rounded or slightly narrowed to the base, 4-6 J in. 

 long, 1J-2|- in. broad, entire, chartaceous, dull and glabrous on both 

 surfaces ; midrib slightly impressed abov^e, prominent below, about 

 1 lin. broad at the base, gradually tapered to the apex of the 

 acumen ; lateral nerves about 5 on each side of the midrib, diverg- 

 ing from it at an angle of 45° or slightly more, arcuate, prominent 

 on both surfaces, looped some distance within the margin and 

 often again more faintly looped, the second loops forming a 

 slender wavy intramarginal nerve; tertiary nerves much-branched, 

 rather lax, prominent like the rather close veins on both surfaces ; 

 petiole J-1 in. long, scarcely 1 lin. thick, very shortly and sparingly 

 pubescent ; stipules persistent, lanceolate, obtuse, 6-8 lin. long, 

 about 2 lin. broad at the base, subchartaceous, glabrous. Recep- 

 tacles axillary, sessile, subglobose, somewhat flattened on the top, 

 nearly | in. in diam., with thin walls, shortly and rather densely 

 pubescent. Basal bracts 2, connate at the base, ovate, rounded at 

 the apex, subchartaceous, slightly puberulous towards the base 

 outside. Ostiole not prominent, 2 -lipped ; mouth about J lin. wide. 

 Bracts not visible from the outside, the upper ovate-lanceolate, 

 obtuse, the lower linear-lanceolate, subacute, glabrous. Male 

 flowers sessile ; perianth-segments 2-3, lanceolate. Stamen solitary ; 

 anther nearly sessile, obtuse. Female flowers stoutly pedicel- 

 late ; perianth-segments 3-4, with membranous margins. Achene 

 finely and closely pitted. Receptacular scales oblong-lanceolate, 

 acute, about 1^ lin. long. — F. camptoneura, Mildbr. in'Engl. Jahrb.
