Taxonomy
This species can be distinguished from two other cauliflorous Bornean species with leaves usually longer than 10 cm, F. densechini and F. grandiflora, by the presence of hairs on the main veins of the lamina beneath. It differs from F. sarawakensis, which has laminas of similar size and indumentum on the main veins of the lamina beneath, in the broader lamina and the densely hairy fig receptacle.
