| Abstract | Ficus conglobata, a fig tree previously reported in the east Himalaya region, including northeast India, Bhutan, and Bangladesh, is additionally recorded here in Motuo County, Xizang Autonomous Region in China and Putao District, Kachin State in Myanmar. This less known species is distinguishable from its morphologically related taxa, such as F. heterostyla, F. hispida, and F. squamosa, by its fascicular and ramous breeding shoots bearing numerous figs. Phylogenomic investigation based on a large nuclear dataset and chloroplast genomes were implemented to verify its phylogenetic position. Furthermore, we annotated and provided its barcodes for future research, including a super-barcode (the complete chloroplast genome) and a nuclear barcode (internal transcribed spacer, ITS). |
