In many respects var. intermedia is almost exactly intermediate between 

 typical F. Leprieuri and the plant described by Warburg as F. Jurcata; the 

 first mentioned has the stalked receptacles of F. Leprieuri, but the more rounded 

 leaves of F. fureata. Were this intermediate form not present, the extreme 

 form might well be taken to be distinct sjx'cies. 



91. F. pilosula, De Wild, in Fedde, Repert. xii. 199. Braiuhlets 

 fairly slender, straw-coloured, angular when dry, glabrous. Leaves 

 oblanceolate or obtriangular, broadly truncate at the apex, mostly 

 cuneate to the base, lJ-3^ in. long, f-l-| in. broad, entire, coriaceous, 

 glabrous and dull on both surfaces ; midrib flat above, ])rominent 

 below, straw-coloured, branched J-f in. below the apex of the blade ; 

 lateral nerves 5-7 on each side, diverging from it at an angle of 45°, 

 very slender, looped near the margin ; veins rather obscure ; petiole 

 J-^ in. long, grooved, glabrous ; stipules persistent or subpersistent. 

 lanceolate, subacute, 3 lin. long, puberulous outside. Receptacles 

 axillary, sessile, geminate, depressed-globose, 3-4f lin. in diam., 

 pilose. Basal bracts 2, ovate, subpersistent, shortly rusty-tomentose 

 outside. Ostiole small and pore-like, inconspicuous ; bracts few, 

 all descending into the receptacle, glabrous. Male flowers with a 

 solitary stamen. Female flowers sessile, gaU ones stalked. — De

 as in F. pilosula, De Wild., but rather oblique and mostly broader 

 across the top ; petiole ^-1 in. long, smooth ; stipuK^s subpersistent, 

 lanceolate, nearly 2 lin. long, glabrous. Receptacles as in F. pilosula,
