Taxonomy
2 As all figs of the only collection known of the species are detached, their position on the plant is uncertain.
1This species shows similarities to F. ovatacuta and F. sageretina. It differs from both in the persistent epidermis of the petiole, the abundant presence of hairs also on the smaller veins of the lamina beneath, and the ellipsoid fig receptacle, being hairy only on the stipe.
