Ficus drupacea
Ficus drupacea, also known as the brown-woolly fig[1][2] or Mysore fig, is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia and Northeast Australia (it has been introduced into the New World tropics, including Puerto Rico).[3][1] It is a strangler fig[4][5][6]; it begins its life cycle as an epiphyte on a larger tree, which it eventually engulfs. Its distinctive features include dense, woolly pubescence, bright yellow to red fleshy fruit, and grayish white bark.[3][7] It can reach heights of 10-30 meters (33-98 ft).[5][7][3] Its fruit are eaten by pigeons, and it is pollinated by Eupristina belgaumensis.[5] It occurs in environments ranging from sea-level beachfront environments to montane forests, up to 1000 m (3281 ft).[7][5][3]
