138 MISS L. 5, GIBBS ON THE FLORA AND PLANT FORMATIONS 
is an extremely common shrub about 4 feet tall in secondary jungle and 
borders of woods all over the Malay Peninsula, and very variable in leaf form, 
but I cannot say that I have ever seen it as anything bigger than can be called 
a big shrub, with comparatively few spreading branches. The commonest 
form is from 4 to 5 feet tall. The figs, of which few contain female 
flowers and ripen, are, when ripe, brilliant cherry-red. The younger ones 
are yellow.
