Ficus drupacea
Species of fig
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ficus drupacea, also known as the brown-woolly fig[3][4] or Mysore fig, is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia and Northeast Australia (it has been introduced into the New World tropics, including Puerto Rico).[3][5] It is a strangler fig;[6][7][8] it begins its life cycle as an epiphyte on a larger tree, which it eventually engulfs. Its distinctive features include dense, woolly pubescence, bright yellow to red fleshy fruit, and grayish white bark.[5][9] It can reach heights of 10–30 meters (33–98 ft).[5][7][9] Its fruit are eaten by pigeons, and it is pollinated by Eupristina belgaumensis.[7] It occurs in environments ranging from sea-level beachfront environments to montane forests, up to 1,000 metres (3,300 feet).[5][7][9]
