Ficus tinctoria var tinctoria is locally common on islands from India to the Pacific but in Borneo has only been recorded on the Derawan islands in East Kalimantan.
All photos in this article are of Ficus tinctoria var tinctoria growing on Pulau Nunukan in the Pulau Maratua Lagoon. See map below.
As of 2018 Ficus tinctoria var tinctoria has only been found in two locations in Borneo both in the Derawan Islands off the coast of E. Kalimantan. (1) Pulau Nunukan at the southern end of the Maratua Lagoon and on (2) Pulau Kakaban. So far Ficus tinctoria var tinctoria has never been found on the Borneo mainland where it is replaced by Ficus tinctoria var gibbosa.
