Ficus montana (common name oakleaf fig) is a species of subtropical climbing fig. It is a subshrub or shrub native to Bangladesh, western Indochina (Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand) and western Malesia (Borneo, Java, Peninsular Malaysia, and Sumatra). 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.Archibald William Smith
