I think this should also be Ficus hirta Vahl as per id in another thread: Ficus hirta subsp. roxburghii (King) C.C.Berg ??
Yes sir this is Ficus hirta Vahl, after going through various publications, this species has two legitimate subspecies F. hirta subsp. roxburghii (Vietnam) and F. hirta subsp. dumosa(Singapore).
The photographs are identified as Ficus hirta. Subsp. level should be verified.

This is also looking similar to Ficus hirta Vahl, may be looking different to other post might be due to understorey habitat.
The photographs are near to Ficus hirta Vahl
Need any further verification please ?
