Ficus sinuata is a species of plant from the family Moraceae. It is an evergreen shrub or small tree native to India and Southeast Asia.
Description
Ficus sinuata can grow up to 6 m (20 ft) tall. It often begins as an epilithic lithophyte before its roots extend to the ground.
Similar to other figs, its fruits are syconia in which its flowers are enclosed. These fruits are round or elliptical, 3 to 8 mm (0.12 to 0.31 in) in diameter, and are most often produced in clusters underneath the plant's leaves though they can occasionally appear alone or in pairs. They turn red or orange when mature.
Distribution and habitat
Ficus sinuata grows in tropical forests below 2,400 m (7,900 ft) above sea level.
Conservation
While the species isn't at risk overall, it has been noted to be at risk in Singapore specifically.
