Notes

1This species shows affinities to F. oxymitroides, from which it differs in the short stipules, the presence of floccose indumentum (although often disappearing soon) on the various plant parts, and the largely reticulate tertiary venation. 2 In the material examined, the figs are not attached to the spurs.
