Statut biogéographique : D'après C.C. Berg (Flora of the Guianas, ser. A, 11: 59. 1992): "Note: Some collections (Berg 1565, Caraglio C4-92, and Hallé 3068) made in French Guiana from a group of young trees in Arbocel, piste de St. Elie, suggest the occurence of F. pulchella Schott, a species from East Brazil (Santa Catarina to Maranhão). It differs from F. piresiana, e.g., in the short (up to 1 cm long) petiole with the epidermis flaking off. Only part of the leaves of the young trees mentioned are similar to those of F. pulchella, the other part matches in shape those of F. piresiana."
D'après F. Kjellberg (comm. pers. 18/04/2020): "il y a confusion entre Ficus piresiana et Ficus pulchella. Dans les séries typiques de piresiana de Guyane, l’essentiel, sinon tout, c’est du pulchella."
