Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing , China) Abstract: F icus racem osa L inn. is monoecious, there exist several flower layers in figs at the stage of p re2post flora. According to the pedicel length, the galls are classified into three layers: galls p rojected into the cavity are nam ed as inner layer ( the length of pedicel is mm ), then intermediate layer ( the length of pedicel is mm), galls next to the fig wall belong to the outer layer ( the length of pedicel is mm ). The size of ovaries in the different layers are not the sam e, the ovaries in the inner layer are significantly bigger than those in intermediate and outer layer. The ovaries are also w ith the different sizes the wasp s. The ovaries contained P la tyneura testacea are the biggest, they are significantly larger than the others. The ovaries occup ied by P. m ayri are larger than those by P. ag raensis and pollinators, but there exist little difference between A pocrypta w estw ood i and A pocrypta sp.. The distribution of ovaries contained pollinators are almost in inner and interm ediate layers, but the non2pollinators are inclined to live in the outer layers. Specially, as gall2makers, P. testacea are different to other non2pollinators, they p refer live in the ovaries of inner layer, which is quite sim ilar to pollinators. Key words:monoecious; pollinator; non2pollinator; coexistence; F icus racem osa : : ( , ) : (1982 ),,,. :. 3.
