“…These complexes have been indicated by Berg & Simonis (1981) and Berg (1989). I have tried as long as possible to distinguish entities at the species level (see, e.g., Berg et al, 1986;Berg, 1992;Berg & Simonis, 2000;Berg & Villavicencio, 2004), although not very consistently as with regard to naming and defining. These attempts could not be perpetuated.…”

“…Miq., un sinónimo de este último taxon (Ibarra-Manríquez y Wendt, 1992). Las cuatro subespecies que se han propuesto para F. insipida por Berg et al (1984) y Carvajal (1995 no presentan caracteres consistentes para diferenciarse en el material de Morelos (Cuadro 3), por lo que no se usan en el presente estudio. En Morelos, F. insipida es relativamente fácil de distinguir por la combinación de los siguientes caracteres: siconos verdes con máculas amarillas cuando frescos, de color rojo en su interior y una yema foliar terminal de hasta 9.3 cm de largo.…”

El género Ficus (Moraceae) es un elemento característico de las zonas tropicales del mundo; en México se distribuye prácticamente en todo su territorio y en una amplia diversidad de hábitats. Con base en una revisión de bibliografía florístico-taxonómica y de los ejemplares de herbario provenientes del estado de Morelos, depositados en ENCB, HUMO, MEXU, MORE, UAMIZ y colectas botánicas adicionales, se reconocen ocho especies nativas de Ficus para esta entidad. Dos de ellas pertenecen al subgénero Pharmacosycea (Ficus insipida Willd. y F. maxima Mill.) y seis al subgénero Urostigma (F. cotinifolia Kunth, F. glycicarpa (Miq.) Miq., F. pertusa L.f., F. petiolaris Kunth, F. trigonata L. y Ficus sp.). Se incluye una clave de identificación para los subgéneros y especies, así como descripciones morfológicas detalladas y fotografías de cada una de estas últimas, con información sobre su distribución, hábitat, fenología y usos.

Phylogenetic reconstruction of Ficus subg. Synoecia and its allies (Moraceae), with implications on the origin of the climbing habit

The infrageneric classification of Ficus (Moraceae) has raised concerns since Berg put forward his six subgenera system. Molecular analyses have revealed some unnatural groups within this system. The status of F. subg. Synoecia and the relationships between this subgenus and its allies are among the major challenges facing classification within the genus. To resolve these problems, we reconstructed the phylogenetic trees with three nuclear markers from 147 ingroup taxa (including approximately half of F. subg. Synoecia species and three‐fifths of F. subg. Ficus) and implemented ancestral area and life‐form reconstructions to trace the evolutionary history. Results showed that F. subg. Synoecia and F. subg. Ficus (except F. subsect. Ficus) constituted a well‐supported monophylum, which is sister to F. subg. Terega. This monophylum comprises two clades: one clade covers F. subsect. Frutescentiae of F. sect. Ficus and F. subsect. Plagiostigma of F. sect. Pogonotrophe, and the other covers F. sect. Eriosycea, F. sect. Apiosycea and the rest of F. sect. Pogonotrophe. Ancestral area reconstruction revealed that the first clade has a distinct origin in East Asia, but the second one shows fewer obvious signs. Ancestral life‐form reconstruction suggested that the climbing habit, a key trait used to divide F. subg. Ficus and F. subg. Synoecia, has evolved independently more than four times, rendering it an unsuitable characteristic to circumscribe the subgenera. Thus, we merged F. subg. Synoecia and F. subg. Ficus (excluding F. subsect. Ficus) into one subgenus, containing two newly delimited sections and six new synonyms.
