Ficus] CXVII. MOEACEiB. 1015 



this tree ; at Sange in March 1856, the lichens nn. 163 (BiteUia disci- 

 formis var. minor f . riigulosa), 430 grew on the branchlets ; in Huilla at 

 Monino in May 1860 the fungus n. 141, Phyllachora repens Sacc, grew 

 on the leaves (cf. A. L. 8m. in Journ. Bot. xxxvi. p. 176, May 1898). 

 I have not seen the type of this species.

GrOLDNGO Alto. — A small tree of 10 to 12 ft. or a large tree of 

 39 to 40 ft. high and more ; trunk obliquely ascending ; head widely 

 spreading ; branches glabrate, not scabrid, curved-ascending or on 

 the large trees patent and usually nodding-ascending ; bark ruddy ; 

 branchlets rather thick, leafy towards the apex, longitudinally 

 wrinkled and transversely scarred and at first bearded after the fall 

 of the stipules ; leaves alternate, entire or subrepand, broadly oval 

 or subrotund, often shortly apiculate at the apex, deeply cordate 

 or sub-reniform at the base, rigidly coriaceous, dark green very 

 scabrous and with scattered pallid hairs above, somewhat tawny green 

 rather softly pilose and not scabrid beneath, IJ to 5 in. long by 1 to 

 3J in. broad, 3- to 9-nerved at the insertion of the petiole, the three 

 central nerves stronger than the rest ; lateral veins 3 or 4 on 

 each side in addition to the basal nerves ; petioles J to If in. long, 

 robust, rigid, bearded with long hairs which arise from thickened 

 chaffy bases ; stipules broad at the base, ovate, pointed, bearded on 

 the back, glabrous inside, ^ to ^ in. long, deciduous ; receptacles 

 pyriform or somewhat club-shaped, comparatively large, when not 

 quite ripe about an inch thick or rather more, softly pulpy when 

 ripe, peach-reddish outside, tomentose or obsoletely so ; one with 

 female flowers examined showed the perianth 5-cleft with unequal 

 lobes terminating in filiform tips. 



G-OLUNGO Alto. — On wooded slopes at the banks of the river 

 Cuango ; fr. not then quite ripe. May 1856. No. 6416. 



Very nearly related to F. trachyphylla Fenzl ; it occurs also in the 

 Kamerun country, Zenker no. 1623. 



The native name is " Mucuso." 



The following No., which bears the same native name, perhaps 

 belongs to the same species. 



GrOLTJNGO Alto.— A robust tree, 60 to 80 ft. and more ; head 

 dilated ; leaves subrotund, cordate-reniform at the base, 3^ to 6 in. 

 long by 3j to 5J in. broad, rigidly but not thickly coriaceous, scabrid 

 above, very shortly and closely hairy beneath ; petioles IJ to 2 in. 

 long ; i-eceptacles pyriform-globose, juicy, of a beautiful reddish 

 colour and somewhat roughly tomentellous outside, lateral, nodding, 

 14 in. long by IJ in. thick, on a peduncle f in. long. At the out- 

 skirts of forests throughout the district, plentiful ; fr. Jan. 1855. 

 No. 6389.

Ambriz. — Several majestic trees, 30 to 40 ft. high, in the middle 

 of the large village of Mosul ; without fl. or fr. Nov. 1853. No. 6384. 



This identification is doubtful as both the type of the species (a 

 specimen of which is in the National Herbarium) and our specimens 

 are without receptacles ; our leaves measure 6J to 7 in. long by 2f 

 to nearly 4 in. broad, and are more deeply cordate at the base ; the
