ficusficus
genusgenusA diverse group of trees and shrubs known for their glossy leaves and unique growth habits, ranging from towering forest giants to compact indoor specimens. These remarkable plants often begin life as epiphytes, growing on other trees before sending roots down to the ground and eventually becoming self-supporting.
Etymology
The name 'Ficus' is the classical Latin word for fig tree, which has remained essentially unchanged since ancient Roman times.
Interesting fact!
Many species produce a milky white sap called latex that historically was used to make rubber, and some still serve as living bridges in parts of India, where their aerial roots are guided across rivers by indigenous peoples.
