Ficus. sp ?: 4 images.
Observation26/04/23. Riung District, Flores, Indonesia.
Description: A tall tree with hard wood, with yellow fig and red flowers. The leaf are large with brown hair.
Habitus : Dry tropical forest
First ID : Ficus sp.
Ficus hispida ? Ficus altissima ?


Appears close to Ficus mollis..


Ficus mollis does not have distribution in the area as per POWO.


I think looks different from images at
https://efloraofindia.com/2016/11/24/ficus-altissima/
https://efloraofindia.com/2011/03/01/ficus-hispida/


there are more than 275 Ficus sp. in that area and almost 10-15 also found in India.
It’s difficult to identify unknown species due to lack of literature with me and insufficient image data shared on emails.
