Ficus nota

Tibig

A small tree fig up to about 9 m tall from the Philippines and northern Borneo, with large leaves and figs borne in clusters on the trunk and main branches. It grows beside streams and rivers in the lowlands. Its figs and young leaves are eaten, and it needs warmth, constant moisture and bright light, like a riverside tropical tree.
