038D02557445560DE675FB9EFB8466DD.taxon	description	1 Bergen Museum, University of Bergen, Allégate 41, 5007 Bergen, Norway; Netherlands Centre for Biodiversity Naturalis (section NHN), Leiden University, P. O. Box 9514, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands; e-mail: berg @ nhn. leidenuniv. nl. ostiole c. 1 mm diam, slightly prominent to sunken, the ostiolar bracts white hairy; internal hairs abundant, yellowish. Style of long-styled pistillate flower glabrous. Distribution — Borneo: Brunei, Sabah, Sarawak Ecology — Forest; at altitudes up to c. 1 600 m. Collections included. BRUNEI, Distr.

Sangan, Tatau, 750 m, Yii Puan Ching & Asah S 66924 (L). Note — This species strikingly resembles the partly sympatric F. chartacea King in its vegetative parts, but the hairy tepals indicate that it belongs to sect. Auratae instead of sect. Eriosycea. The close relationship to F. macilenta is already indicated by inclusion of this species. Ficus gibbsiae differs from F. macilenta in the (almost) glabrous and smooth lamina (in contrast to an at least beneath distinctly hairy and above scabrous to scabridulous lamina), the acuminate to subcaudate apex of the lamina (in contrast to a acuminate to acute apex), the slightly prominent to flat venation, in particular the reticulum both beneath and above (vs a prominent reticulum). Moreover, the petiole tends to be longer in F. gibbsiae and the peduncle longer in F. macilenta.	en	Berg, C. C. (2011): Corrective notes on the Malesian members of the genus Ficus (Moraceae).

038D02557444560CE675FD2BFD996B4A.taxon	materials_examined	Examination of numerous specimens received for identification, from BRIT and K, and examined in A, L and NY, including the types of names based on material collected in the Philippines, Ficus cuernosensis Elmer (1908: 545), F. laevicarpa Elmer (1912: 1395), F. maquilingensis Elmer (1919: 3094), and F. peabodyi Elmer (1911: 1267), which have been reduced to synonyms of F. benguetensis, proved to belong to this species, except for the type of F. laevicarpa and some other collections from Palawan. The material to be included in F. benguetensis is not quite uniform and, therefore, it is to some extent problematical to define the species. The majority of the collections represent material with the figs apparently confined to the leaf axils. A smaller proportion, including the types of F. cuernosensis, F. peabodyi, and F. maquilingensis bear figs (predominantly) on leafless, up to 15 cm (or to c. 30 cm?) long branchlets on the older wood, down to the base of the trunk (see Walker 1976: t. 10.). In these collections the leaf margin is often (but not always!) crenate-dentate. The weak correlation between cauliflory and dentation of the leaf margin makes it impossible to recognise formal infraspecific entities. The quality of the collections and label data do not provide information whether the predominant position of the figs is a matter of age and they also make it difficult to define the distribution of the two forms: both apparently occur throughout the range of the species, but the cauliflorous form may occur more frequently in the northern part of the range. It is remarkable that the latter form is scarce among recent collections. Material from Taiwan referred to F. fistulosa subsp. fistulosa by Liao (1995) belongs to F. benguetensis, implying that F. fistulosa the former does not occur in Taiwan, as incorrectly stated by Berg & Corner (2005: 420).	en	Berg, C.

038D02557447560FE675FC39FC5560BC.taxon	description	In the Philippines, F. fistulosa is quite uniform with regard to the position of the figs, being clearly cauliflorous, and features of the figs, being glabrous on all parts and the figs with long peduncles and with the receptacle stipitate. However, there is 163 variation in the laminas: they mostly have an entire margin, but the margin is sometimes sinuate to coarsely dentate to lobate, as in the types of F. grandidens Merr. (1914) and F. repandifolia Elmer (1906). Elsewhere in the range, the species is more variable, as with regard to the size of the leaves, the tertiary venation (varying from reticulate to largely scalariform), the presence of indumentum on leafy twigs, petioles and the midrib of the lamina beneath. Moreover, and the position of the figs, that varies from (sometimes) axillary (on short spurs) to ramiflorous (with short spurs, bearing simultaneously only one or a few figs) to clearly cauliflorous, with (clusters of) fig-bearing branchlets, bearing simultaneously numerous figs. Ramiflorous material usually has small leaves, with the lamina often less than 10 cm long, with down to 5 pairs of lateral veins, and the petiole 1 – 2 cm long. This ramiflorous material resembles somewhat the collections which have been put in F. (fistulosa var.) lucbanensis and that might have been one of the reasons to include them in F. fistulosa. The ramiflorous material is found in the greater part of the species range (from Thailand to Java and to Borneo) shows transitions to the mostly large-leafed and cauliflorous form of F. fistulosa, nevertheless, the majority of the collections can be placed in one of two categories, and recognition as varieties might be appropriate: the small-leaved, ramiflorous form as var. tengerensis (Miq.) Kuntze and the large-leaved, cauliflorous one as var. fistulosa. Intermediates are occasionally encountered.	en	Berg, C. C.
