Morphology
1This species is uniform and resembles F. fulva, from which it can be distinguished by the ± scabrous leafy twigs and petioles with sparse short hairs and the distinctly brown and appressed indumentum of the stipules.
2This species, though belonging to subsect. Eriosycea, also shows strong similarities to F. androchaete, belonging to subsect. Auratae, in the indumentum and the leaves. The two species can be distinguished by the differences in the basal lateral veins: unbranched and running parallel and close to the leaf margin in F. androchaete and usually ± faintly branched, (almost) straight and not running parallel and close to the leaf margin in F. subfulva. Moreover, the hairs of the stipules are brown in F. subfulva but yellowish in F. androchaete.
