Ficus androchaete

A Bornean fig described by Corner in 1960, recorded from Sabah, Sarawak, Brunei and Kalimantan. No account beyond the original description was reachable, so conditions come from the measured sites and general knowledge of Bornean lowland figs. Treat it as a warm, humid, ever-wet rainforest plant.
