Ficus aureocordata growing on the bank of the Sungei Lansat a small river in N. Sarawak just outside Mulu National Park. Notice the prominent bracts on the side of the fig which distinguishes this fig from F. bruneiensis, which is also much more hairy.
Note that the stipule of Ficus aurocordata is hairless unlike the hairy stipule of Ficus bruneiensis.Sungei Lansat is a small river or large stream that enters the Tutoh River ( a tributary of the Baram River) just outside Mulu National Park in N.Sarawak. Three rare figs Ficus bruneiensis, F. diamantiphylla and Ficus aureocordata have been collected on the banks of this river. However Ficus bruneiensis and F. diamantiphylla are likely to be con-specific (same species).
