A common montane species of earth fig. About 5m tall tree growing on a slope in a secondary forest in the mountains. Fig fruits are growing on a long dropping stalk that reaches for the ground. Has a sweet smell when opened.

Earth figs are unique as their fruits usually grow low on the ground to be eaten by ground animals. There are 10 Earth Fig species in Borneo out of the over 150 native fig species. This is found during one of the 1StopBorneo Wildlife expeditions.
