Ficus glandulifera, Kg Belingos, Temburong, Brunei

Ficus glandulifera  is closely related to Ficus lumutana.

The most important difference is that Ficus glandulifera is hairy in all parts. However the amount of hair is very variable from slightly hairy (as below)  to dense reddish brown hairs.

For other differences with Ficus lumutana see Ficus glandulifera: Introduction.
