Taxonomy

3The species is possibly introduced in Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands. 1Material with densely white hairy receptacle and peduncles has not been encountered in the material examined from the Philippines and these features, also found in the type of var. dasycarpa (from India), are not included in the description. 4Miquel successively described a F. caulocarpa (1867: 235) in subg. Covellia (= subg. Sycomorus) and currently in the synonymy of F. botryocarpa subsp. botryocarpa, and made the combination F. caulocarpa (1867: 268) based on Urostigma caulocarpum (1848: 568), and included U. calaucarpum in the synonymy F. caulobotry (1867: 287), based on U. caulobotryum (1847: 568) and a synonym of F. tsjahela Burm.f. from India and Sri Lanka. 2Material with sessile ﬁgs occurs in Thailand.
