The infrageneric nomenclature of Ficus , the largest genus in the Moraceae, is reviewed. We call attention to three overlooked subgeneric names, F . subg. Terega Raf., F . subg. Sycomorus Raf. and F . subg. Spherosuke Raf., and four sectional names, F . sect. Cordifoliae G. Don, F . sect. Pogonotrophe (Miq.) Miq., F. sect. Platyphyllae Mildbr. & Burret and F . sect. Urostigma (Endl.) Griseb., that have priority over other long‐used subgeneric and sectional names. We also effect a new combination into Ficus based on Urostigma sect. Apiosycea Miq. In addition, we designate types for 6 generic and 17 infrageneric names.
