Information

Tree up to 20(40) m. tall, hemi-epiphytic and strangling or secondarily terrestrial. Leafy twigs 2–5 mm. thick, glabrous or sparsely minutely puberulous, periderm of older parts often flaking off when dry. Leaves spirally arranged; lamina oblong to lanceolate, elliptic or ovate, 4.5–13(24) x 2–6(11.5) cm., ± coriaceous, at least the midrib beneath (and the petiole) usually drying red-brown; apex acuminate to subacute or obtuse; base rounded to subcordate or cuneate; margin entire; both surfaces glabrous; lateral veins 5–10(14) pairs; tertiary venation predominantly reticulate; petiole (0.8)2–5.5(8) cm. long, 1–2(3) mm. thick; stipules 1–15 mm. long, up to 4.5 cm. long on new flush, sparsely to densely puberulous or only ciliolate, caducous or subpersistent on new flush. Figs 2–4 together on short, branched and finally ± cushion-shaped spurs up to c. 2(5) cm. long, or on straight, peg-like or sometimes curved spurs up to 15 cm. long, on the main or lesser branches; bud scales of the spurs densely puberulous; peduncle 12–25(50) mm. long, 2–3 mm. thick; basal bracts 3–5 mm. long, free parts caducous or sometimes subpersistent. Receptacle subglobose, often stipitate when dry, 2–6(10) cm. in diam. when fresh, 1.5–3(6) cm. in diam. when dry, puberulous, greenish or partly purplish at maturity; wall 5–10 mm. thick when fresh, 2–4 mm. thick and ± wrinkled when dry.
