''Ficus insipida'' is a tropical tree in the fig genus of the family Moraceae. It ranges from Mexico to South America, and is commonly found in cloud forest above 1,550 meters ASL.〔Haber (2000), MBG ()〕 __NOTOC__ ==Description and ecology== This is a tree with buttress roots which ranges from tall. Although it is a freestanding tree when mature, ''F. insipida'' begins its growth as a climbing vine. It clings to a mature tree, eventually strangling it. Its favored hosts are ''Guarea tuisana'' and ''Sapium pachystachys'', and it is also frequently found on already-dead trees.〔DeWolf (1960), Daniels (1991)〕 Leaves vary shape from narrow to ellipse-shaped; they range from long and from wide.〔DeWolf (1960)〕 It flowers February to April and bears warty, yellow-green fruit 4–6 cm in diameter. Though they are edible like most figs, as the scientific name (literally "insipid fig") implies they are of unremarkable taste. Monkeys feed on fruits still on the tree, and fallen fruits are eaten by peccaries. Two subspecies can be distinguished: * ''Ficus insipida'' ssp. ''insipida'' Willd. * ''Ficus insipida'' ssp. ''scabra'' C.C.Berg 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ficus insipida」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
