Information on the BORA Rhino Orchard

Note that both the side veins and the tertiary veins are sunken on the upper side of the leaf. This is distinctive for only 3 species of Section Conosycea  strangling figs in Borneo, Ficus annulata  Ficus forstenii and Ficus kochummeniana. The leaves illustrated above  with 17 pairs of side veins can only be Ficus annulata.
