Ficus acreana

Ficus acreana C.C.Berg is a western Amazonian fig described in 2003, known from a handful of records in lowland Ecuador and Acre (Brazil) at 230-450 m. Its climate is hot, humid and wet all year, with no real dry season. Almost nothing is published about its habit, so care follows the lowland Neotropical figs.
