Ficus chaponensis
A rare fig tree endemic to Colombia, known from a single subpopulation in Boyacá at about 1020 m in montane rain forest. Described by Dugand in 1942, it is pollinated by fig wasps and its figs are spread by birds. As a tree it is only grown as a young plant; care follows Andean premontane Ficus.
