Taxonomy
This species resembles F. crassiramea in the basal bracts which cover the greater part of the receptacle. However, the receptacle is always longer than wide, and the acumen of the lamina is acute. The species is in most features similar to F. sundaica and might even be conspecific, being a form with much longer basal bracts than normal in F. sundaica.
