BSA Plant Images Online -
Cauliflorous figs of Ficus itoana from Madang, Papua, New Guinea. This species is functionally dioecious due to the interaction of the pollinating fig wasp Ceratosolen armipes,with two types of figs on separate plants. Functionally dioecious figs in subgenus Ficus have been found to be nonmonophyletic.
