Ficus caulocarpa is a flowering plant of the family Moraceae. It is native to the East Indies. It makes three complete sets of leaves each year (triannually deciduous).[4] According E.J.H. Corner, this fig, if it germinates in a boulder field, its roots can extend for "extraordinary distances, up to several hundred feet".[5]
