03984D18FFEDC5418C638A23FEAAF9A8.taxon	description	Small tree, up to 5 m tall; branches drying brown or grey brown; leafy twig 0.8 – 1 cm thick, glabrous, periderm persistent. Stipules 0.4 – 0.5 cm long, persistent, minutely puberulous to glabrous and up to 7 cm long in the open shoot. Leaves not articulate; petiole 3.5 – 5 cm long, glabrous, epidermis persistent; lamina elliptic to obovate, 13 – 15 by 5.5 – 7 cm, (sub) coriaceous, base (sub) cordate, apex obtuse or subacute, the acumen blunt, both surfaces glabrous; lateral veins 12 or 13 pairs, usually furcate away from the margin, the basal pairs up to 1 / 4 – 1 / 3 the length of the lamina, mostly branched, tertiary venation reticulate. Figs axillary or just below the leaves, solitary or in pairs, peduncle 1 – 3 mm long, puberulous; basal bracts 3, caducuous; receptacle ellipsoid, 0.8 – 1 cm diam when dry, with stipe 1 – 3 mm long, surface usually wrinkled when dry, brown puberulous, black at maturity, apex flat to convex; ostiole 2.5 – 3 mm diam, upper ostiolar bracts brown puberulous; internal hairs absent. Staminate flowers dispersed, numerous, sessile; tepals 3 (or 4), free, reddish brown. Pistillate flowers sessile; tepals (2 or) 3, ovate to elliptic, free, reddish brown; ovary red-brown, without or with stipe. Distribution — Only known from the type, cultivated in XTBG, of Sino-himalayan origin (either endemic in Yunnan or in northern Vietnam, the place where the rock originated on which the plant is growing). Note — The abundant, dispersed staminate flowers suggest passive pollination.	en	Chantarasuwan, B., Peng, Y. - Q., Baas, P., Rasplus, J. - Y., Heuven, B. - J. van, Welzen, P.
