Notes
1This species is probably very closely related to F. fistulosa, and might merit only recognition at the subspecific level. It can be readily distinguished from F. fistulosa by the patent indumentum on the leafy twigs, on the lamina beneath, and on the fig peduncle and receptacle. The lamina is ± scabrous beneath or above as well.
2 The figs of the type material differ from those of the other collections by the very long peduncle (up to 5 cm long) and the ostiole of c. 4.5 mm diam., possibly abnormally (teratologically) developed.
