creeping shrub, Ficus, new record, Phu Luang Wildlife SanctuaryAbstract
Ficus tikoua, a member of the subgenus Sycomosus, is reported for the first time in Thailand. This creeping shrub was discovered in a dwarf forest at high elevation (1,400–1,500 m asl) on the top of Phu Luang Mountain in Phu Luang Wildlife Sanctuary, Loei Province. A key to the Thailand species of Ficus subgenus Sycomorus is given. A description based on Thai collections is provided. We lectotypify the names F. tikoua and F. nigrescens.
