tomentose ; yellowish red when ripe and about *5 in. to *75 in. across; basal bracts 3, ovate- 

 rotund villose. Male flowers only near the mouth of the receptacles with gall flowers, 

 sessile* the perianth of 3 large oblong pieces, much longer than the 2 oblong anthers; 

 filaments short, adnate. Gall flowers sessile or shortly pedicellate; the perianth of /> 

 narrowly lanceolate pieces; the ovary ovoid, shining, smooth; the style short, lateral: 

 stigma infundibuliform. Fertile female flowers sessile or pedicellate; the perianth like 

 that of the gall flowers; the achene obliquely ovoid, minutely tuberculate; the pericarp 



hard and crustaceous 



Malayan Archipelago and Peninsula, Andaman Islands, and Burmah. 



This is not very well represented in collections, although it is by no means an 



seen 



in 



uncommon tree in Western Java. A form of this with narrower leaves, smoother on 

 the upper surface than those of the type, was separated as a variety under the name 

 orbicularis by Miquel; but it scarcely deserves separation even as a variety. The plant 

 issued as Herb. Zoll. 651 was originally named F. fulva, Reinw., by Zollinger him >lf. 

 but Miquel made a species of it under the name apiculata. Miquel had previously given the 

 name apiculata to a species collected by Wight (No. 1916 Herb. Wight), which I have not 



but which, judging from Miquel's description (Lond. Journ. Bot. vi. 570), was a 

 Urostigma. The reduction of F. chlorocarpa, Miq., to this apiculata was made by Miquel 



himself. I have seen no specimen of it. 



Keceptacles containing male and gall flowers are by no means common. Count Solms 

 Laubach states (Bot. Zeit for 1885, p. 516) that during his stay at Buitenzorg he had 

 never been able to find one with male flowers. Some specimens which I myself collected 



the Prean^er Province of W. Java bear such receptacles, and from one of these the 

 figures given by me have been drawn. The forms of this species may be grouped into 

 two sets, as follows: 



Forma typica 



Leaves rounded, more or less lobed. This is the form originally 



named fulva by Reinwardt. 



Var. minor. Leaves ovate or elliptic. Under this fall the forms described as 



flavidula and chlorocarpa by Miquel.
