scientific name

Ficus benghalensis L.
status

 

Ficus benghalensis Linnaeus , Species Plantarum 2: 1059. 1753.

"Habitat in India." RCN: 7721.

Lectotype (Wijnands, Bot. Commelins: 153. 1983): [icon] " Ficus Bengalensis , folio subrotundo, fructu orbiculato" in Commelin, Hort. Med. Amstelod. Pl. Rar. 1: 119, t. 62. 1697.

Current name: Ficus benghalensis L. ( Moraceae ).

Note: See discussion by Corner (in Gard. Bull. Straits Settlem. 17: 382. 1960), who interpreted the name via the Rheede element though without formally typifying Linnaeus’ name, although Smith (Fl. Vitiensis Nova 2: 175. 1981) believed Corner had done so. Wijnands therefore appears to have made the earliest explicit type choice.
