Ficus vrieseana

Ficus vrieseana is a little-known fig of Java and Sumatra described by Miquel in 1867. Its records are lowland sites at the foot of the Javan and Sumatran hills, in a hot, humid, ever-wet climate with a modest drier spell from July to September. Nothing beyond the description is readily available, so this profile follows the measured climate and lowland Sundaland figs.
