ABOVE: Ficus caulocarpa at Prince Philip Park, Tanjung Aru beach, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. There are several fine examples of this fig growing in the beach forest at Tg Aru.
Anthea Phillipps to show the scale.
Note the short stumpy stipule (terminal bud) which is typical of figs in Section Urostigma. Note also the long reddish brown petioles (leaf stalks) which are distinctive of Ficus caulocarpa.
