Notes
2 The species shows affinities to F. cataupi.
1This species is remarkable in the variation of the lower surface of the lamina on which the areoles are (partly) not distinct, (partly) brownish tessellate, or partly foveolate, representing the successive stages of the differentiation of the lower surface of the lamina. The leaves are born on slender rooting branches. Whether the material under this name represent a subbathyphyll-state is not clear.
