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

edit

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

Subsection Glandulosae includes (not complete)
Subsection Pedunculatae includes

Section Pharmacosycea

edit

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