Field Notes

Description:

A young Ficus benjamina, also known as weeping fig showing the "gracefully drooping branchlets" from which it derives this name.

Habitat:

This tree is near the campus of a school which is nestled in the foothills of the Cyclops mountains. The campus is surrounded by villages, gardens and disturbed forest. It was no doubt planted as an ornamental.
