Nice Pictures!

Not only the leaf bases are unequal but one side of the leaf is more or less
*gibbous* (swollen on one side or humped).
Here the second picture somewhat (more or less) shows that character.
Further, small tree, 3-ribbed at leaf base, and smaller figs (usually about
0.6-0.9 cm in diameter) that are yellow when ripe scabrid (having a rough or
scaly surface) are characters of F. gibbosa.

Hence this species is *F. gibbosa *of Moraceae family.

Again, according to "the plant list" the new name of *Ficus gibbosa* is*
Ficus* *tinctoria* subsp. *gibbosa* (Blume) Corner. (
