Ficus vulpina Benoist (1929: 164)

Lectotype (designated here):— FRENCH GUIANA. Acarouany , 1858, Sagot 524 (lectotype: P 00089309 !; isolectotype: B!, BR!, G 00438317 !, G 00438318 !, K!, P 00089308 !, P 00756625 !).

Nomenclatural notes:— The species protologue does not state the herbarium where the type of F. vulpina was deposited. Berg & DeWolf (1975) were the first to suggest that the type specimen was at Paris (P). There are three preparations of the same collection at this herbarium. It is not clearly indicated in their labels whether they are part of a single specimen, and thus these are considered to be three duplicates ( Turland et al. 2018, Art. 8.3). Here, we designate the specimen Sagot 524 (P 89309) as a lectotype because it exhibit structures taxonomically informative and such as branches, leaves, stipules, and syconia.

Taxonomical notes:— This taxon name is considered a synonym of Ficus trigona (e.g., Berg & Villavicencio

2004, Berg 2009).
