Sections
  • Oreosycea
  • Pharmacosycea

Pharmacosycea is one of six subgenera currently recognised in the genus Ficus. It was proposed by E. J. H. Corner in 1967 to unite section Pharmacosycea with Oreosycea.

Recent molecular phylogenies has shown that the subgenus is polyphyletic. Section Pharmacosycea is a sister taxa to the rest of the genus Ficus, while section Oreosycea is itself polyphyletic.[1]

Section Oreosycea

Section Oreosycea is Palaeotropical in distribution.[2][3]

Subsection Glandulosae includes (not complete)
  • Ficus asperula Bureau
  • Ficus auriculigera Bureau
  • Ficus austrocaledonica Bureau
  • Ficus barraui Guillaumin
  • Ficus bubulia C.C. Berg
  • Ficus carinata C.C. Berg
  • Ficus cataractorum Bureau
  • Ficus crescentioides Bureau
  • Ficus dzumacensis Guillaumin
  • Ficus edelfeltii King
  • Ficus mutabilis Bureau
  • Ficus nervosa Heyne ex Roth
Subsection Pedunculatae includes

Section Pharmacosycea

Section Pharmacosycea is Neotropical. Cornelis Berg recognised two subsections: Bergianae and Petenenses.[4]

Subsection Bergianae includes
Subsection Petenenses includes
  • Ficus apollinaris Dugand (= F. petenensis Lundell)
  • Ficus ecuadorensis C.C. Berg
  • Ficus guajavoides Lundell,
  • Ficus lacunata Kvitvik
  • Ficus loxensis C.C. Berg
  • Ficus macbridei Standl.,
  • Ficus maxima Mill.
