Ficus sur
The Cape fig or Broom cluster fig (''Ficus sur'')〔The etymology of the specific name is unclear. It may be of Arabic origin and suggest Sur, Oman, where it is not native.〕 is a widespread Afrotropical species of cauliflorous fig. This fast-growing, deciduous or evergreen tree usually reaches 5 to 12 m, but may attain a height of 35 m to 40 m.〔 Large specimens develop a massive spreading crown,〔 fluted trunks and buttress roots.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.zimbabweflora.co.zw/speciesdata/species.php?species_id=120400 )〕 In cooler climes it is coastal, but they may be found at up to 2,500 m altitude.〔〔〔 The heavily clustered figs suggest fecundity, and some trees in East Africa have been venerated as sacred shrines in animist practices.〔 Over its extensive range it is variable with respect to leaf shape, texture of the leaves and figs,〔 deciduousness and overall size.
==Range==
It is found from Cape Verde and Senegambia across tropical West Africa to Cameroon and the Central African Republic. Eastwards it is found in Eritrea, northern Somalia and Yemen, and southwards to all African countries except Lesotho and the dry interior regions of Botswana, Namibia and South Africa.〔 It is found in forests or grassy woodlands,〔 and occurs at higher densities in well-watered, temperate uplands. It is absent or outnumbered at lower, warmer climes by the similarly cauliflorous species, ''F. sycomorus''.
