Abstract

Ficus hirta is dioecious,belongs to a kind of shrub or small tree in Subgenus Ficus. Its syconia blossom and bear fruit all year round,synchronously in syconia and asynchronously intra-tree. In the female syconium there are averagely 641.2 long-styled female flowers;in the male syconium averagely 488.2 short-styled(gall ones);under the natural condition its fruit-bearing and gall-producing rates are 51.37% and 36.11% respectively. Blastophaga (B.) javana is the pollinator of F. hirta and a legitimate companion of the mutualism system. They suit eath other quite well in structure and physiological function. F. hirta must depends on the pollination of Blastophaga (B.) javana to complete its sexual reproduction. Meanwhile the fig wasps are dependent upon the gall flower (short stigmas) of the fig,in which their eggs and larvae and pupa develop.
