Where it grows wild

A fig of lowland to submontane rainforest in the Guineo-Congolian region; published accounts place it among the African figs that start life as hemi-epiphytes or grow as shrubs and small trees in the forest. Species-specific habitat notes were not reachable, so the growth form is a genus-level inference.

Recorded 0–1790 m, median about 390 m (101 records), so mainly a lowland and foothill species.
