Taxonomy
2This subspecies resembles F. halmaherae.
1This variety is more variable than the other three. It varies considerably in the shape and size of the leaves, and the length of the stipules. The figs vary in size and shape (from ellipsoid to ovoid to subcylindrical). The basal bracts vary in length, if they are short they are mostly persistent, but if they are long, they are caducous. In some collections from northern Sumatra the fig receptacle has several lateral bracts.
