Taxonomy
1This species shows clear affinities to F. cuneata from which it differs in the dense (dark) brown indumentum of the fig receptacles, the usually brown(ish) indumentum of the leafy twigs, sometimes patent on the leafy twigs and on the main veins of the lamina beneath, and mostly also by larger laminas.
2This species has a form with lanceolate and smaller leaves (on Luzon and including the type of F. linearifolia) such as in the related F. cuneata.
