Binomial name

Burm.f.

Ficus montana (common name, oakleaf fig) is a species of subtropical climbing fig plant. Leaves are 3 to 5 inches long. The leaves are shaped like oak leaves which gives its common name. It is grown as a houseplant, in offices and in shopping malls. It is slow growing. It is often confused with the tiny F. pumila quercifolia, which is a vining species that creeps on the surface of soil. The Latin specific epithet montana refers to mountains or coming from mountains.[1]
