Ficus antandronarum

A fig of Madagascar and the Comoros, well collected with nearly 400 wild records from near sea level to about 1850 m. The measured sites are in the humid eastern highlands, where it is mild and wet, though records also come from the drier south and west. Treat it as a warm-temperate to subtropical tree with cool, slightly drier winters.
