Caquetá , Venecia , orillas del Río Orteguaza , 31 March 1940 , J . Cuatrecasas 8951 ( lectotype : COL 3796 !, isolectotypes : COL 3797 !, US!). Nomenclatural notes:— There is no reference in the protologue, to which specimen at COL is the holotype of F. alvareziana . There are two preparations from a single gathering ( Cuatrecasas 8951 ) with no clear indication on the label whether these are parts of the same specimen or different individuals ( Turland et al. 2018 , Art. 8.3). Therefore, these are considered as two duplicates and we designate one of them as the lectotype because it contains branches with syconia, leaves and stipules. Taxonomical notes:— Ficus alvareziana is synonimized as Ficus trigona by Berg & Villavicencio (2004) .
