Ficus beccarii (male) Selapon, Brunei

ABOVE: Immature male Ficus beccarii fig fruit on a roadside plant at Selapon in Temburong, Brunei.  Note the arrow which points to the only male flower  (anther and stamen)  you can see inside the fig. The round globules are gall flowers which are used by pollinating fig wasps as brood chambers. All photos by Arlene Walshe. 

Another male fig fruit from the same plant.The contents of this fig have been emptied out probably by ants  possibly so they can use the empty fig fruit as domatia (housing).  See    Ficus tinctoria var gibbosa: ant domatia
