 dull beneath very coriaceous elliptic or ovate-elliptic subinequilateral 

 tip short abrupt obtuse, margins entire slightly revolute and undulate, 

 base slightly narrowed obscurely 3-5-nerved, receptacles crowded towards 

 the apices of the branches axillary or at the scars of fallen leaves globose, 

 apex mammillate, when ripe greyish-white with pink dots and densely

PEGU ; forests of Prome, Kurz. 



A tree. Leaves 4-^-7 by 2^-4 in. ; nerves 10-12 'pairs, reticulations obscure j 

 petiole jointed to the blade, 2-2| in. ; stipules small, very broadly ovate, tomentose.. 

 Malefi. few, only near mouth of receptacles; perianth toothed, shorter than the 

 filament of the single stamen ; anther broad, thick. G-all and/m. fl. with a 3- or 

 4-toothed perianth, shorter than the ovary ; gall ovary ovoid ; achene triangular, 

 ovoid, minutely tubercled ; style elongate, stigma cylindric. Collected only by 

 Kurz. It is near F. geniculata, but distinguished by its much more coriaceous 

 leaves, and tomeutose stipules and receptacles.

 stamen; anther broadly ovate, filament longer thick. Gallfl. sessile or pedicelled j 

 fern, mostly sessile ; sepals of both 3, ovate, shorter than the achene ; fertile and 

 gall achenes ovate-reniform, fertile broadest; style in both long, stigma cyliudric. 

 A sport is common at Madras (Wall. Cat. 4503 C) with tufts of very long petioled 

 leaves at the ends of the branches.
