A very particular inflorescence, typical of all fig trees. It consists of a flat and wide floral receptacle with tens to hundreds of tiny, sessile flowers. This receptacle closes itself in a fruit-like structure, with an orifice on the top. Inside lay the flowers, and, after fertilization, the fruits.
