UROSTIGMA 



On the 



Kew sheet of F. onusfa, Wall. Cat. 4563, there is a mixture of the leaves and 



-ptacles of F. microstoma, Wall. 

 Some remarks on the synonymy of the var. manok will be found under the description 



of microstom 



Plate 25.-F. globosa, Bl. The upper twig is of typical F globosa ; the lower 1S of the 

 ety manok. The smaller figures show receptacles and a stipule, all of natural size.

The single specimen of this at Kew is the only one I have seen. This approach 

 F. Beddomei, but has differently shaped leaves and much smaller receptacles.
