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. Section ''Oreosycea'' Section ''Oreosycea'' is Palaeotropical in distribution.Berg CC, Corner EJH (2005) ''Moraceae - Ficus. Flora Malesiana'' Series I (Seed Plants) Volume 17/Part 2.

Ficus Insipida
''Ficus insipida'' is a common tropical tree in the fig genus of the family Moraceae growing in forest habitats along rivers. It ranges from Mexico to northern South America. Taxonomy The tree was described in 1806 under the scientific name ''Ficus insipida'' (literally "insipid fig") by Carl Ludwig Willdenow, having studied the herbarium specimens collected in Caracas by the gardener Franz Bredemeyer in the 1780s during the . Willdenow reports its fruit are tasteless. Incongruously, among the many species of figs to grow in the region, this species is in fact recognisable by its large and sweet figs (when ripe). In the 1960 ''Flora of Panama'', Gordon P. DeWolf Jr. lumped the species ''F. adhatodifolia'' and ''F. crassiuscula'' as synonyms of ''F. insipida'', but his taxonomic interpretation was not followed by subsequent authorities. '' Ficus'' expert Cees Berg distinguished two allopatric or almost allopatric subspecies in 1984: * ''Ficus insipida'' subsp. ''insi ...

Ficus Crassiuscula
''Ficus crassiuscula'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Moraceae, native to Central America (Guatemala, Honduras, Belize, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama) and north-western parts of South America (Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela). Taxonomy ''Ficus crassiuscula'' was first described in 1917. In the 1960 ''Flora of Panama'' Gordon P. DeWolf Jr. considered this species to be a synonym of the non-climbing ''F. insipida'', but this taxonomic interpretation has not been followed by subsequent authorities. With about 750 species, ''Ficus'' (Moraceae) is one of the largest angiosperm genera. ''F. insipida'' is classified in subgenus '' Pharmacosycea'', section ''Pharmacosycea'', subsection ''Bergianae'', along with ''F. adhatodifolia'', ''F. carchiana'', ''F. gigantosyce'', ''F. insipida'', ''F. lapathifolia'', ''F. mutisii'', ''F. oapana'' (''spec. nov.''? ined.), ''F. obtusiuscula'', ''F. piresiana'', ''F. rieberiana'' and ''F. yoponensis''.

Ficus Obtusiuscula
''Ficus'' ( or ) is a genus of about 850 species of woody trees, shrubs, vines, epiphytes and hemiepiphytes in the family Moraceae. Collectively known as fig trees or figs, they are native throughout the tropics with a few species extending into the semi-warm temperate zone. The common fig (''F. carica'') is a temperate species native to southwest Asia and the Mediterranean region (from Afghanistan to Portugal), which has been widely cultivated from ancient times for its fruit, also referred to as figs. The fruit of most other species are also edible though they are usually of only local economic importance or eaten as bushfood. However, they are extremely important food resources for wildlife. Figs are also of considerable cultural importance throughout the tropics, both as objects of worship and for their many practical uses. Description ''Ficus'' is a pantropical genus of trees, shrubs, and vines occupying a wide variety of ecological niches; most are evergreen, bu ...
