"Pharmacosycea" is one of six subgenera currently recognised in the genus "Ficus". It was proposed by E. J. H. Corner in 1967 to unite section "Pharmacosycea" with "Oreosycea".

Recent molecular phylogenies has shown that the subgenus is polyphyletic. Section "Pharmacosycea" is a sister taxa to the rest of the genus "Ficus", while section "Oreosycea" is itself polyphyletic.cite journal | quotes = no | last = Rønsted | first = N. | authorlink = | coauthors = G.D.
