Ficus hispida DSC_0198
Photographed in areas around Cairns Known to occur in the Cape Tribulation/Daintree region based on the Atlas of Living Australia.
A rather interesting and very widespread tropical fig is often found beside creeks. This fig is cauliflorus, meaning it bears fruits on the trunks. In this species, the figs are somewhat hairy and ripen yellow. This species has an impressive list of medicinal properties, particularly in Ayurvedic medicine.
