Reduced by King to Ficus benjamina Linn. Elmer’s type of Ficus wm- 
brina is identical with Cuming 1932, the type of F’. nuda Mig. The spe- 
cies differs from Ficus benjamina Linn., as the latter is currently inter- 
preted, in its receptacles being ebracteate and in their being narrowed 
into a distinct pseudostalk. The receptacles are smaller than in Ficus 
comosa Roxb. (F’. benjamina Linn var. comosa King).
