ABOVE: Botanist Tony Lamb standing next to a mutilated Ficus vasculosa next to the lake at the Government Rest House at Telupid in Sabah.

Ficus vasculosa can be recognized by the “weak”  faint or uneven  basal veins visible on the underside of the leaf.

New stipules are also a distinctive waxy brown. See this link Ficus vasculosa in Singapore.
