Happy to offer a review. Josh Milburn (talk) 18:59, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
- "They found F. rubiginosa to be most closely related to the rainforest species F. watkinsiana and two lithophytic species of arid northern Australia (F. atricha and F. brachypoda) and classified it in a new series Rubiginosae in the subsection Platypodeae." Perhaps this sentence could be split: how about "They found F. rubiginosa to be most closely related to the rainforest species F. watkinsiana and two lithophytic species of arid northern Australia (F. atricha and F. brachypoda). They classified these species in a new series, Rubiginosae, in the subsection Platypodeae."
- Are you not being somewhat imprecise in calling the varieties "subspecies" and "forms"?
- Is var. variegata still considered independent?
- "epiphyte" is explained, but not "hemi-epiphyte"
- all should be hemiepiphyte - linked now Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:55, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- "Females then have a short time (< 48 hours) to find a tree with receptive syconia to successfully reproduce and disperse pollen." Reference?
- I'm struggling with the male/female thing. You say that there are male and female flowers in the same syconia, then say that there are both male and female syconia?
- "At least 14 species have been recorded" Personally, I'd be interested to see a full list
- "Investigation of F. rubiginosa syconia found that the fig seeds and parasitic wasps develop closer to the wall of the syconium while pollinator wasps developed deeper i" Tense shift
- "Nematodes of the genus Schistonchus are found in the syconia (and the polliator wasps)" In the wasps, or on them?
- "A variegated form, F. rubiginosa "variegata" is in cultivation." Anything to do with Guilfoyle's variety? I'm assuming both are separate to the "variegated form" which "requires brighter light"?
- "Despite the size of the leaves" Why?
I've done some copyediting- please double-check. I'll be back to look at the images/sources. Josh Milburn (talk) 22:05, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

- Ok, I'm happy with the images and sources. I'm still not fully clear on "Despite the relatively large size of the leaves" (is there some reason that relatively large leaves would typically suggest that it would not be popular?) but I'm certainly not going to hold up promotion for that. I think you could still be a bit clearer about which forms/varieties/subspecies are still recognised. In any case, I'm happy to promote now, and leave these as things for you to think on.

- How about this, I have aligned the forms. moved the variegated stuff down to cultivation to make it more cohesive. NB. the art of bonsai is to have tiny leaves to mimic those of a tree seen from a distance, hence large leaved things are generally frowned upon....
