Old fig tree on the Colombo Galle Road, near Kalutara 1875 #IMG308

Old fig tree (Ficus indica) on the Colombo Galle Road, near Kalutara.

Not far from the shore near Kalutara this wonderful tree, an indiarubber tree, of which the snake-like roots, twisted and plaited till they look like a close lattice, form a perfect labyrinth.

W.L.H. Skeen & Co
Date: 1875
