Description

Shrub or tree up to 10(-20?) m tall, often hemi-epiphytic. Branchlets drying (dark red-)brown, becoming yellowish to greyish after exfoliation of the periderm. internal hairs sparse and minute (or absent?). Leaves distichous; stipules semi-amplexicaul, 0.3-0.7(-1) cm long, glabrous (or puberulous), caducous.

Morphology

1This species shows a considerable and remarkable variation in the venation. Two types of venation (as extremes of the variation) can be distinguished, although connected with numerous intermediates, even in the same specimen:
  • a. Lateral veins few (mostly 4-6 pairs), long, ascending and curved, and (others than the basal ones) often branched or furcate; the tertiary venation is irregular.
  • b. Lateral veins are more numerous (mostly 7-10 pairs), shorter, and (others than the basal ones) less conspicuously curved to almost straight lateral, their loop-connections often forming an arcuate submarginal vein; the tertiary venation is more regular, (in larger leaves) the few ‘intercostals’ often running parallel to the midrib. The latter type is most frequent in Borneo and includes the type material of var. parvifolia).
 2The change of the colour of the twigs due to exfoliation of the periderm is conspicuous and may help to recognize this species. 3This species can be easily confused with F. midotis, but can be distinguished by the prominent (versus flat to impressed) midrib and the absence of additional waxy glands.
