Ficus retusa in Java

Ficus retusa from Java (correctly labelled for once !)  from  Naturalis.

However  95% of the Ficus retusa herbarium collections on the Nauralis website are actually Ficus microcarpa.

The Ficus retusa illustration above is available online from www.plantillustrations.org under a  creative commons license.

Note that the Ficus taxonomy followed on this website is based on the Flora Malesiana treatment by Berg & Corner (2005) with taxonomic updates as listed  here.
