Taxonomy

2A narrow-leaved form is quite common; such a form is also found in the related F. linearifolia. 1This species is closely related to F. ribes from which it differs in the whitish indumentum on the leafy twigs and the whitish puberulous figs. Corner (1960) treated this taxon as a variety of F. ribes. It is also closely related to F. linearifolia from which it can be distinguished by the whitish indumentum of the figs and the leafy twigs and the smaller dimensions of the lamina.
