Taxonomy
1Corner (1960, 1965) recognized var. major, based on a collection from the Philippines (Mindanao), which, however, readily matches other collections with a caudate lamina from the same area and in the present treatment referred to the caudate form of F. ampelas, in particular the large-leaved subform.
2This small leaved species (only known from the type) clearly differs from the form with caudate laminas of F. ampelas (in the Philippines) in the leaf venation.
