Taxonomic treatment of the Ficus auriculata complex (Moraceae) and typification of some related names

Abstract

Typification of Ficus auriculata complex (Ficus subsect. Neomorphe) is discussed and F. beipeiensis is treated as a new synonym of F. auriculata. As the original material of F. auriculata has not been located, a presentative specimen deposited at P is designated here as its neotype after detailed study of the protologue, relevant publications and specimens.
