Ficus parietalis is one of the most common figs along the forest edge in lowland Borneo. These figs are easily recognised from the fact that the leaves normally only have 3 or 4 side veins and the female figs ripen bright crimson. Note that male figs ripen yellow and are not eaten by any animals.
Ficus parietalis can grow as a stand alone tree, but also often as a small to medium sized epiphyte.
