The floodplain forest next to the Melinau River at Mulu was flooded when we visited in December 2013 to look for figs and butterflies. Mulu is extremely rich in both even though all the large mammals have been hunted out.Ficus rubrocuspidata is one of the most common figs you will encounter in the floodplain forest at Mulu.
