Ficus maclellandii  is a non-native introduced ornamental  fig often used as a landscaping plant in hot countries including Borneo.

A row of four Ficus maclellandii  planted along the access road to the Marina at Sutera Harbour.

Even though there are no fig wasps associated with this fig in Borneo it still produces fig fruit. However the fruit are sterile (without seeds) and cannot reproduce.
