Taxonomy
3The crenate-dentate leaf margin and the numerous ribs on the fig receptacle could indicate affinity to F. congesta.
2It may also be related to the cauliflorous F. manuselensis.
1This species is related to F. benguetensis from which it differs in the depressed-globose and distinctly ribbed fig receptacle, the shorter basal bracts, the shorter stipules, and the consistently crenate-dentate margin of the lamina.
