Morphology

1The material from Sumatra usually has elliptic to oblong laminas with subacuminate to subacute or obtuse apices, but the lamina is sometimes (sub)obovate with a rounded apex and with the midvein furcate. The latter type of lamina, although often narrower (to subspathulate or linear-oblanceolate), is more common in Borneo. Both types of lamina can be found on the same specimen. 2Most collections from Celebes have relatively large figs, 0.5-1 cm diam., matching in size of those of subsp. intermedia. Moreover, the lamina often dries greenish.
