Ficus beccarii: Sg Seranau, Rumah Janin, Lubok Baya, Kapit, Sarawak

Ficus beccarii photographed on 13 February 2020 by Elliot Gardner  at Kapit in central Sarawak. Collection #EG871.

The long thin leaves with very long drip tips are very similar to a similar earth fig Ficus geocharis but  the base of the leaf is symmetrical and rounded without the “auricle” present on Ficus geocharis.

The photos were taken as part of a project entitled Ethnobotany and ethnotaxonomy of Moraceae in Sarawak supported by the National Parks Board of Singapore.
