Ficus ulmifolia
Description
Shrub or tree up to 6 m tall.
Branchlets often drying red-brown; often with short (abortive) branchlets with short internodes and with minute leaves or without leaves.
internal hairs few to abundant.
Leaves distichous, rarely subopposite;
stipules semi- amplexicaul, 0.3-0.8 cm long, minutely puberulous to glabrous, caducous.
Distribution
Asia-Tropical: Philippines (Philippines present), Mindanao present, Palawan present
Philippines (widespread, not in Mindanao and Palawan?).
Morphology
1A number of collections from Luzon (near Santa Cruz in gallery forest or secondary growth, on extreme ultrabasic soil with grassland) are distinct in the smaller figs (0.5-0.8 cm diam. when dry), shorter petioles (less than 1 cm long), and the leaves drying pale green. The collections might represent a distinct infraspecific entity (an ecotype?).
2This form has also some features in common with F. cumingii, as the occasional opposite leaves and the narrow laminas, lobate at the base; these features may indicate that F. ulmifolia and F. cumingii are closely related.
