Ficus salomonensis (Family Moraceae; and commonly called "Roroketa") of the Solomon Islands[1] is a palm-like sparingly branching mesocaul rainforest tree to about 26 feet (eight meters) in height. The main trunk and each branch of juvenile trees is topped by a rosette of huge leaves which are entire (undivided and unlobed) oblanceolate in form and up to 200 centimeters (6.5 feet) in length by 60 cm (2 feet) wide[2] The adult trees have leaves up to 80 centimeters (32 inches) long by 30 cm (12 inches) in width.[3] The fruit (syconia) are borne in clusters mostly on the trunk (cauliflory).[4] It was discovered in 1912 but was not seen again until 1961 when it was re-discovered by E. J. H. Corner.[5]
