Ficus drupaceae Leaves simple, alternate, eliiptic or abovate; apec acuminate or mucronate; base cuneate, obtuse, cordate or auriculate; margin entire. Inflorescence axillary, a head. Flowers unisexual, small, with only one perianth whorl, three of four-merous, actinomorphic or slightly zygomorphic. Perianth white or cream. Figs brown, yellow, orange, red or purple, fleshy, indehiscent. Additional features Leaves : Stipules 8-45 mm long, densely clothed in long rusty prostrate silky hairs when young. Petioles and twings produce a milky exudate. Both surfaces of young leaves densely clothed in rusty hairs. Oil dots sometimes visible on the underside of the leaf blade with the said of a lens. Sten : A strangling fig. Lenticels tend to be in horizontal lines. A hard brown horny layer normally visible in the outer blaze. Exudate rapid and copius. Flowers : Tepals glabrous. Male flower scattered at random among the fruitlets in the ripe fig. Bracts at the base of thr fig, 3. No lateral bracts on the outside of the fig body. Fruit : Figs sessile, ellipsoid or oblong, 15-25 x 15-20 mm. Orrifice closed by interlocking apical and internal bracts. Seedling : cotyledon oblong o orbicular, 3-4 mm long. At the tenth leaf stage: leaves elliptic to avote, avpex acute, base obtuse, upper surface hairy, mainly on the midrib and main lateral veins; oil dots numerous, visible with a lens; petioles densely hairy; stipules tringular, shething the terminal bud, hairy. Taproot thickned. Distribution and ecology Occurs in CYP and NEQ.A ltitudinal range from sea level to 450 m. Grows in well developed lowland rain forest on a variety of sites. Also occurs in SE Asia, Malesia, the Solomon Island and other pacific islands. Ficus fraseri Leaves simple, alternate, eliiptic or abovate; apec acuminate or mucronate; base cuneate, obtuse; margin entire, serrate or crenate. Inflorescence axillary, a head. Flowers unisexual, small, with only one perianth whorl, five-merous;actinomorphic or slightly or markedly zygomorphic. Perianth white, cream or pink. Figs green, red or purple, fleshy, indehiscent. Additional features Leves : Leaf blade with a rough and sandpapery feel on both the upper and lower surfaces. Stipules about 5-8 mm long. Petiole grooved on the upper surface. Stem : Not a strangling fig. Bark exudate watery, turning pale yellowish brown. Deciduos; leafless for a short period in August or September and perhaps also in March. Flowers : Flowers pedicellate. Male flowers produced around the ostiole. Tepals spathulate, outer surface and margins clothed in pale pink, spine-like hairs. Apical bract project ing beyond the body of the fig. Bracts at the base of the fig usually 3 or 4. Lateral bract on the outside of the fig body. Fruit : Figs pedunculate , avoid, about 15-20x 13-17 mm, minutely scabrous. Orifice closed by interlocking apical and internal bracts. Seeding : Cotyledons almost orbicular, 3-4 m long. At the tenth leaf stage: leaves elliptic, apex acuminate, base obtuse or auriculate, margins crenate, upper and lower surfaces sandpapery from short bristile-like hairs; petioles clothed in bristle-like hairs; stipules elongate triangular , hairy, shed early.

Distribution and ecology Occurs in NT, NEQ and southwards to northen NSW. Altitudinal range from near sea level to 800 m. Grows in well develoved upland rain forest on a variety of sties but is probably more common in drier, more seasonal rain forest. Also occurs in Vanuatu an New Celedonia.
