Strangler Fig (aka Watkin's Fig)

The Strangler Fig is a hemiepiphytic fig that is endemic to Australia, and this specimen looks like it's straight out of Rivendell (from Lord of the Rings for the uninitiated). This is an old tree and is very large, and whatever the tree was that it had grown around, it has long-since departed - there is not a trace of it to be found other than the shape of the fig itself. It's very possible that the host tree was Queensland Red Cedar (Toona ciliata). It's a species that these Strangler Figs seem to be very fond of.
