Ficus daimingshanensis
A small shrubby fig, about 2 m tall, known only from limestone country on Daming Shan in north-east Guangxi and from Hunan in southern China. It has red stipules, ovate-elliptic leaves with a long drip tip, and small red figs in the leaf axils. It is almost unknown in cultivation and there are no wild records with coordinates, so the growing advice below comes from the Flora of China description and the general climate of the Guangxi and Hunan mountains.
Where it grows wild
Flora of China records it only as a shrub of limestone areas. The pairs of figs on normal leafy shoots and the long caudate leaf tips point to a plant of humid forest or forest edge rather than open scrub, but no field habitat notes have been published that say so directly.
Flora of China gives about 2200 m. That is higher than the highest summits usually given for Daming Shan (roughly 1700 to 1800 m), so the real range is probably mid-montane, somewhere in the 1000 to 1800 m band.
