Taxonomy

Many features of this species suggest close relationship to F. virescens. It differs clearly in the indumentum. The short internodes might prove to be another consistent differentiation character. The indumentum and figs also show affinities to F. cereicarpa, from which it is clearly distinct in the base of the lamina and the absence of waxy glands.
