Ficus deltoidea, also known as the Mistletoe Fig, is a tropical plant highly valued for both its decorative foliage and its strange, miniature fig-like fruits. The leaves are delta-shaped (triangular) and have pale veins. The figs are decorative but rarely eaten.
Interesting fact: Female leaves often have a small black dot in the center.
