Acorn Fig (young)

Ficus glandifera

Description:

A young fig plant with large leaves. When it grows, the fruits will resemble acorn more than a fig. A coastal species which grows as a hemiepiphyte on host tree and strangles it over time. Ficus GLANDIFERA can be easily misidentified as a similar named species - Ficus GLANDULIFERA.

Habitat:

Growing out on a bush by the beach on an island.

Notes:

There are more than 150 species of wild figs on Borneo and this is definitely one of the coolest species my team has found. As expected of a rare species, it is very beautiful and unique. My team (1StopBorneo Wildlife) aims to look for amazing wildlife species which have great importance to the ecosystem. We have to understand our native wildlife better in order to conserve them properly.
