Where it grows wild

Treated in Flora of British India and later floras as a woody climber that clings to trees and rocks with adventitious roots, as climbing figs do. Species-specific habitat notes were not reachable.

Few records carry an elevation; the climate sites lie between about 15 and 400 m.
