mina ibi pullulant, radices longas ad terrain demittentia ; 

 sed radices nulli e ramis ipsis prodeunt. Folia glabra, 

 acuminata, trinervia, integerrima, nunc siepius ovalia, tunc

 brevis, canaliculatus.

Ficus Ind. Orient. Obe vulgo junioris folio, flore albo tubu- 

 loso, sericea lanugine obsito, fructu orbiculari, Pancer 

 Maram Malabarorum. Pink. Alant. 75.
