Ficus hispida also known as the Opposite leaf Fig is a small but well distributed species of tropical fig tree. It is dioecious, with male and female flowers on separate individuals.^[1] It occurs in many parts of Asia and as far south east as Australia.^[2][3] There is a large variety of local common names. Like a number of ficus, the leaves are sandpapery to touch. An unusual feature is the figs which hang on long stems.
