Ficus pseudopalma is one of my favorites! It’s a Ficus that wants to be a palm. 😁 This unusual growth form has been called a Schopfbaum or tuft-tree. Those leaves are almost 1 m long. #Moraceae #TropicalBotany #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Ficus benghalensis produces aerial roots that touch the ground & become woody. These act as supports for the spreading branches, as well as supplementing the tree’s root system. Those aerial roots are contractile, ratcheting down & locking the tree to the earth. #Moraceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Ficus has several species that are geocarpic, bearing figs on rhizomes or trailing stems that are buried in leaf litter. Here’s F. treubii of Borneo with the litter pulled away to show the figs. 📷: Cerlin Ng CCBYNCSA2. #Moraceae #TropicalBotany #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Fig🍀
The fig is the edible fruit of Ficus carica, a species of small shrub in the flowering plant family Moraceae, native to the Mediterranean region, together with western and southern Asia. It has been cultivated since ancient times and is now widely grown throughout the world.

Just about all animals like to eat figs. A single fig tree can attract dozens of species of birds, but the figs on Ficus racemosa are cauliflorous, i.e., borne on branchlets arising directly from the trunk, = an adaptation to bat dispersal. Easy access for large bats. 🦇 #Moraceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

If the Ficus lyrata you know are skinny potted houseplants, you might be interested to see that, growing in the ground, they are small, well-behaved trees. (I look at the spindly specimen in my office & know that we both long for the Tropics.) #Moraceae #TropicalBotany #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Ficus spp. (#Moraceae) have tiny seeds embedded in fleshy receptacle tissue (the syconium). These accessory fruits attract just about every animal in the forest, including fruit-eating bats, which are critical for seed dispersal. 📷: F. citrifolia 🦇 #TropicalBotany #BatWeek #botany 🌾🧪🌱

Ficus spp are diverse in their growth habits. Most are trees, but some are shrubs, lianas & hemiepiphytes. Ficus villosus is a shingle-leaf climber, a growth habit I’ve written about. #Moraceae #TropicalBotany #Botany 🌾🧪🌱doi.org/10.1016/j.pp...

Fruits of Ficus racemosa (#Moraceae) are cauliflorous, i.e., borne on the trunk & main branches. Cauliflory is often associated with seed dispersal by large fruit bats, which easily maneuver around the trunk but can’t fly among branches. 🦇 #TropicalBotany #BatWeek #Ficus #botany 🌾🧪

Ficus benghalensis, the banyan, produces the most amazing aerial roots, which drop from the branches & eventually penetrate the soil. They are contractile roots, which grow and then contract, ratcheting down & locking the tree to the earth. #Moraceae #root #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

I know an isle where the wild wind blows,
Where cashew and the dragon tree grows,
Quite over-canopied with pomegrenate,
With sweetest roses and moraceae;

"Immer wenn ich diese Früchte der Gattung der Tribus Ficeae innerhalb der Pflanzenfamilie der Maulbeergewächse (Moraceae) esse, knallt es laut und ich höre nichts mehr."

"Ja, das sind …"

"Bitte nicht!"

"… Ohrfeigen."
