Ficus alongensis

An evergreen fig of Indochina and southern China, described by Gagnepain in 1927 and named after the Ha Long (Along) Bay area of northern Vietnam. Almost nothing beyond the original description is readily available, so these conditions come from the seven measured wild sites and general fig biology. Treat it as a warm, monsoon-climate tropical tree that wants strong light.

Where it grows wild

Specific habitat information was not found. The measured sites are lowland southern Thailand and hill country near the Laos–Vietnam border, both monsoon forest regions; assume forest and forest edges, with young plants in gaps or partial shade.

The two climate sites are at about 10 m and 530 m; few records carry an elevation.
