Tree up to 20(–30) m. tall, hemi-epiphytic, often terrestrial; bark pale green to whitish.. Leafy twigs 6–12 mm. thick, glabrous or minutely puberulous, periderm often flaking off when dry.. Leaves in spirals; lamina coriaceous, elliptic or sometimes oblong to subcircular, 12–30 × 6–23 cm., apex shortly acuminate to almost rounded, base obtuse to rounded or (especially in large leaves) to cordate, margin entire: both surfaces glabrous; lateral veins 6–8(–9) pairs, often divided far from the margin; tertiary venation partly scalariform; petiole 3.5–11 (–16) cm. long, 2–5 mm. thick; stipules 0.3–0.5 cm. long, up to 4 cm. on flush, glabrous or partly puberulous, caducous.. Figs on short (often almost spine-like) spurs on the main branches (or the trunk); bud-scales of the spurs minutely puberulous, mostly apiculate; peduncle 0.7–1 cm. long, 2–2.5 mm. thick; basal bracts 4–5 mm. long, persistent.. Receptacle globose, ± 3 cm. in diameter when fresh, ± 2.5 cm. when dry, glabrous or minutely puberulous, brownish at maturity; wall wrinkled when dry.

A fig tree. It grows 30 m high. The trunk is straight. The roots often grow over rocks. It can grow attached to other plants. The bark is smooth and greenish-yellow. The leaf stalk is 4-11 cm long. The leaves are 12-30 cm long by 6-23 cm wide. The figs are borne in pairs on lumps on the trunk. They are 3-4 cm across.
