Tree up to 15(40) m tall, hemi-epiphytic or secondarily terrestrial. Leafy twigs 2-5 mm thick, glabrous or minutely yellowish puberulous, periderm not flaking off. Leaves spirally arranged; lamina ovate to ± elliptic or oblong, (2)5-16(24) x (1.5)3.5-10(15) cm, subcoriaceous, at least the midrib beneath (and petiole) often drying blackish; apex acuminate; base cordate to truncate or rounded, sometimes to subacute; margin entire; both surfaces glabrous; lateral veins (3)4-12 pairs, tertiary venation partly scalariform to reticulate; petiole 2-12 cm long, 1-2 mm thick; stipules 0.5-2 cm long, glabrous, caducous. Figs 1-4 together on spurs up to 3 cm long on the older wood; bud scales of the spurs glabrous or nearly so; peduncle 8-20 mm long; basal bracts 3-4 mm long, persistent. Receptacle globose to obovoid often shortly stipitate, at least when dry, 2-4 cm in diam. when fresh, 1.5-4 cm in diam. when dry, whitish puberulous to greenish-purplish at maturity; wall 2-3 mm thick and wrinkled when dry.

A strangler fig that becomes a large tree. It grows 10-16 m tall. The bark is light brown. It flakes in small sections. The leaves are broadly oval. They are 6-15 cm long by 4-10 cm wide. They are dark green and glossy above and paler underneath. The tip narrows to a point. The base is rounded. The figs are 1.5-3 cm across. They normally occur in pairs. They can be on the branches or the trunk. They are green and warty.
