Morphology

2The species shows a remarkable variation with regard to the length of the petiole and the base of the lamina, being distinctly decurrent and/or auriculate or hardly or not so. A number of collections from Mt Kinabalu has very short petioles and the relatively small leaves do not have additional waxy glands. 1The peduncles of figs in the leaf axils or on lesser branches are usually up to 1 cm long, but longer if the figs are cauliflorous.
