Morphology
1This subspecies is quite variable in the dimensions and shape of the fig receptacle. In the western part of the species range (and infrequently in eastern New Guinea), the receptacle is subglobose, often somewhat depressed, and usually large, 1.5-2 cm diam. when dry. In the eastern part of the range, the receptacle is often smaller, 0.8-1.2 cm diam., and often also ellipsoid to ovoid. The basal bracts of small figs are relatively small (mostly 5-8 cm long), and in ellipsoid ones, covering a smaller part of the receptacle. Ellipsoid to ovoid or to obovoid receptacles are known from the Philippines (Mindanao), Celebes, Moluccas, New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands. They are usually 1-1.2 cm diam., but larger (c. 1.5 cm diam.) in the Sulu Archipelago (Philippines) and Celebes. Small (depressed-)globose receptacles (0.8-1.2 cm diam.) are known from Java (eastern), Borneo (eastern), the Philippines (Palawan), Talaud Island, and (infrequently) from the Solomon Islands, where the form with ellipsoid figs is predominant.
2In most of the material the (small) areoles are visible, but in several specimens (from Java) they are obscure. This material has been described as F. procera, which name was substituted by F. subtecta.
