Description: The rubber tree, also known as Ficus elastica, is a fascinating tree that thrives in the lush rainforest of Fiji. Approximately 40 percent of Fiji's land area, especially the rainy southeastern side, is covered with dense rainforest. Here, a variety of plants like orchids, hibiscus, bamboo, ferns, mangroves, palms, and many others flourish. The rainforest is a place teeming with life, with no unused niches. There is no other place on Earth as biologically complex as the rainforest, housing the majority of climbing plants in the world.
