How do I find file "findme" in tree "bigtree" searching only subdi

How do I find file "findme" in tree "bigtree" searching only
subdirectories named "in_here"?
I've been pulling my hair out for an hour or so trying to figure out
how to do this with the find command.

I haven't even gotten as far as searching for the "findme" fille I
can't even get find to work and find me all files that are in subdirs
named "in_here"

I thought this would work for that:

$ find "bigtree" ! -name "in_here" -prune

Why doesn't this work? To me this means "find all files in 'bigtree',
but don't descend into any directories not named 'in_here'" but
clearly this is not what find thinks...

Anybody know how to do this?
