Legends and myths about trees
Trees in Buddhism (1)
Fig trees (Ficus) - Trees that bear fruit without flowering
“Enter the fig forest and seek the flowers, but get none. In the world of the three realms (Trailokya: Ref), you seek the unwavering and you do not get one. The practitioner who knows this, forsakes this and that together...like a snake shedding its old skin.” - Buddha
Above is an extract from a verse of the Buddha in the Sutta Nipata No.5.
A common feature of the fig genus (ficus) is the peculiar inflorescence. They appears as if it suddenly bears fruit without flowering. They are hermaphrodites or dioecious, collectively known as fig trees or figs. These belonging to the family Moraceae have about 850 species and are native throughout the tropics, with a few species also found in semi-temperate zones.
Hermaphrodites are generally those that have male and female reproductive organs in one individual. Those that do not are referred to as gonochoric. In the case of plants, they are referred to as monoicous and dioicous, respectively.
The fig fruit develops as a hollow, fleshy structure called the syconium that is lined internally with numerous unisexual flowers. The tiny flowers bloom inside this cup-like structure. The small fig flowers and later small single-seeded (true) fruits line its interior surface. At maturity, these 'seeds' (actually single-seeded fruits) line the inside of each fig.
The fruit of most species are also edible though they are usually of only local economic importance or eaten as bushfood. However, they are extremely important food resources for wildlife. Figs are also of considerable cultural importance throughout the tropics, both as objects of worship and for their many practical uses.
The Bodhi tree is well known for Siddhartha Gautama (Ref2) sat under the tree, meditated and finally attained enlightenment becoming the Buddha, also known as "sacred fig tree", belongs to this fig family.

木にまつわる伝説・神話
仏教の樹木 (1)
イチジク(無花果) 〜花を咲かせずに実のなる木
“無花果の林の中に入りて、花を求めて得ることなし。三界世間(参照)の中にありて揺るがざるものを求めて得られず。かく知っている修行者は、これをもあれをも、ともに捨てる。蛇が旧き皮を脱ぎ捨てるがごとく。“ーブッダ
上記は、経集 (スッタニ・パータ 5) にあるブッタの詩篇の抜粋である。
イチジク属に共通する特徴は、花序が特殊であることだ。イチジクが無花果と言われるように、この仲間は、花が咲かずに唐突に果実を生じるように見える。雌雄同体あるいは雌雄異株で、高木になるものから低木、またはつる性の木本になる種もある。モクセイ科に属するこの植物は、約850種あり、熱帯地方全域に自生し、数種は半温帯にも分布している。
雌雄同体 (しゆうどうたい) とは、一般に、雄の生殖器官と雌の生殖器官を一個体に持っているものを言う。そうでないものは雌雄異体 (しゆういたい) という。植物の場合にはそれぞれ、雌雄同株 (しゆうどうしゅ)、雌雄異株 (しゆういしゅ) という。
イチジクの果実は、中が空洞で肉厚の「サイコウニアム (隠頭花序)」と呼ばれる構造で、その内部には多数の雌雄同体の花が並んでいる。小さな花は、このカップ状の構造物の中で咲く。その内面には、小さなイチジクの花と、後に小さな一粒の種の真果が並ぶ。成熟すると、この「種子」(実際は1粒の果実) がイチジクの内側に並ぶ。
果実はほとんどの種で食用になるが、通常は地域経済的に重要であるか、山菜・野生の果物として食されるに過ぎない。しかし、野生動物にとっては非常に重要な食糧資源である。イチジクは、熱帯地方において、崇拝の対象として、また多くの実用的な用途として、文化的に非常に重要なものである。
菩提樹は、ゴータマ・シッダールタ(参照2)がこの木の下に座って瞑想し、ついに悟りを開いてブッダとなったことで知られ、「聖なるいちじくの木」とも呼ばれる、イチジク属の植物である。

I pruned my variegated rubber tree and put the two cut stems in water. One sprouted immediately and the other sat stagnantly for awhile before developing some slimy film. I popped that one into my tank and the shrimp and snails helped clear away any mold, which gave it time to sprout roots as well.

Meet my G. Pulchripes named Zephyr. I rehoused her in a new enclosure recently. There are live plants. I tried the technic of using a pot to protect the plants from her and so far it's working. She didn't pull or dig any of them out yet. It's been around 3 weeks and she dug a burrow behind the bark, covered the entrance on the ground level and uses the entrance at the top. So I guess she's arboreal now XD Good for her. The plants are doing well too. Philodendron is exploded and makes a new leaf each week. The fern in the back is worse than it started but the spider sits on it sometimes. Maybe it will bounce back.
