Ficus arawaensis

Ficus arawaensis is a Solomon Islands fig described by E.J.H. Corner in 1961 and known from very little material; GBIF holds no usable wild records. Treat it as a lowland equatorial rainforest fig: constantly hot, very wet and humid with no cool or dry season.

Where it grows wild

Almost nothing is published on its habitat; by analogy with other Solomon Islands figs it is a shrub or small tree of lowland rainforest. The growth form is assumed, not documented.

No recorded elevations; the single climate site is a lowland point (about 60 m) in the Solomon Islands, so treat it as a lowland species.

Solomon Is.
