Several months ago the new Australian Tropical Rainforest Plants Key was launched in Cairns. Development of this key has been a collaborative effort over almost fifty years and many of its contributors were present at the launch. Champagne was drunk and cheese was et and the result is that it is now available via the web using the following link:
http://keys.trin.org.au:8080/key-server ... index.html
An example info page for Ficus obliqua
http://keys.trin.org.au:8080/key-server ... bliqua.htm
This key may be of some use for people seeking information about tropical Australian plants they are using for bonsai. It is probably the most recent and available work to include some of those problematic figs.
cheers
