Reduced by King to Ficus benjamina Linn. Elmer's type of Ficus um- 

 brina is identical with Cmning 1932, the type of F. nuda Miq. 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 

 coinosa Roxb. (F. benjamina Linn var. comosa King) .
