Nomenclatural notes:—
The protologue cites that the
holotype
of
F. bunquensis
was deposited in the herbarium COL; however, there are two preparations from a single gathering (
Jaramillo 28
) there. There is neither clear indication on the label suggesting these two preparations are parts of the same specimen nor a single original label in common (
Turland
et al.
2018
, Art. 8.3); therefore, we consider them as duplicates. Based on this, we designate here
Jaramillo 28
(COL-3807) as the
lectotype
because this specimen contains branches, leaves, syconia, and stipules.
Taxonomical notes:—
The currently accepted name for this taxon is
Ficus coerulescens
.
