Abstract

A new record for Singapore, Ficus subulata Blume, has been discovered growing in several small patches of secondary forest on Pulau Ubin. It is described here based on observations of the plant on Pulau Ubin along with notes on its habitat. A key to the Singapore species of Ficus subgenus Sycidium section Palaeomorphe, to which F. subulata belongs, is given. Male and female individuals of a Kradibia pollinating fig wasp species were found within a syconium of a plant specimen. They were collected and vouchered and are illustrated here.
