ABOVE: The Empire Resort, Brunei Darussalam. Note the tiny island to the far right of the photograph. This islet is known as Pulau Punyit or Punyet. Having checked the Tutong, Brunei tide tables online, we booked to stay at the Empire Resort during the lowest tide of 2017. Our intention was to walk or swim to Pulau Punyit at 5.30 am just before dawn when the tide was lowest to census the figs on the island.

The 1997 record of Ficus delosyce on Pulau Punyit is unlikely to be correct. It is much more likely to be Ficus microcarpa which is the most common fig growing in the beach forest along the coast opposite the island. The record for Ficus globosa is also somewhat doubtful as Ficus globosa does grow in beach forest but usually as a liana or small tree.
