Ficus grandiflora: Sapling liana with bathyphyll leaves at Malesiana Tropicals, Kuching

This curious fig growing in the greenhouse at Malesiana Tropicals, at Bau near Kuching in Sarawak has been identified as a young sapling liana of Ficus grandiflora  a  very rare root climbing fig in Section Kalosyce..

Damaged surfaces produce copious latex and there is a prominent stipule which indicates this plant can only be a fig.  The tessellated (tiled)  under surface of the leaf and the uneven leaf base clearly indicate that this fig belongs to Section Kalosyce  (root climbers). The closest match  is Ficus grandiflora.
