Ficus kurzii, fruiting in the Belum-Temenggor Forest Complex (BTFC) located in Perak at the northern end of the Malay Peninsula on the Thai- Malaysia border.
Note: The natural range of Ficus kurzii is Myanmar, South China, Vietnam, Thailand, Sumatra and Java.
Ficus kurzii does not occur in Borneo.
There is an very fine fig next to Swan Lake in the Singapore Botanic Gardens labelled Ficus kurzii which may be the result of hybridization with with Ficus benjamina.
In the Malay Peninsula F. kurzii is confined to the more seasonal forest on the Thai-Malaysia border.
Photographs originate from research into the importance of figs in the diet of the local hornbills (10 species) at BTFC.
