0CF2621593C45BDA86AE45DE3C908ADD.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Ficus motuoensis is similar to F. disticha in the shape and texture of the bathyphylls, but differs from the latter by its larger acrophylls (4.5 - 6.5 cm in F. motuoensis versus 2.5 - 5 cm in F. disticha) and larger syconia (8 - 10 mm in F. motuoensis versus 3 - 6 mm in F. disticha). The new species also resembles F. hederacea and F. diversiformis in the aspect of the acrophylls, but can be distinguished from these by its globose and spotted syconia (versus without spots in F. hederacea and F. diversiformis) with a shorter peduncle (1 - 2 mm in F. motuoensis versus 10 - 12 mm in F. hederacea and 3 - 12 mm in F. diversiformis).	en	Zhang, Zhen, Zhang, Mei-Jiao, Zhang, Jian-Hang, Zhang, De-Shun, Li, Hong-Qing (2022): Ficus motuoensis (Moraceae), a new species from southwest China.

0CF2621593C45BDA86AE45DE3C908ADD.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet indicates its type locality, Motuo County, Tibet, in China.	en	Zhang, Zhen, Zhang, Mei-Jiao, Zhang, Jian-Hang, Zhang, De-Shun, Li, Hong-Qing (2022): Ficus motuoensis (Moraceae), a new species from southwest China. PhytoKeys 206: 119-127, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.206.89338, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.206.89338
0CF2621593C45BDA86AE45DE3C908ADD.taxon	distribution	Distribution and habitat. Only found in the type locality, i. e. China: Tibet, Linzhi, Motuo County. However, considering that Motuo is close to Assam in India, the new species probably also exists in India. The new species develops very well in the type locality, as it has been recorded in five different villages (Bari, Yarang, Gelin, Deergong and Maniweng). The individuals of the new species are rather abundant without the risk of extinction. The new species grows in the tropical monsoon forest climbing on substrates, such as soils and tree trunks, whereas its fertile branches often break away from the substrate at the time of reproduction. It is located at an altitude of 700 - 2000 m.	en	Zhang, Zhen, Zhang, Mei-Jiao, Zhang, Jian-Hang, Zhang, De-Shun, Li, Hong-Qing (2022): Ficus motuoensis (Moraceae), a new species from southwest China.
