Kosna banyan

The Kosna banyan (Ficus kosnatia), commonly known as the banyan, common banyan, and northern fig tree, is an evergreen tree native to eastern Pasia up into most of Kosna south of the S. Mountains and west of the L. Mountains, as well as a portion of southwestern Hartnett. The more south in its range, the trees are bigger with large canopy coverage. The tree starts out as an epiphyte that, once it grows, it begins to lean on another tree that it ends up suffocating. It southern counterpart is the fig banyan, which is found more in the southern Herethearian Islands and most of Gouba's more humid forested regions, another banyan tree found in its range is the lying banyan, which is a false banyan apart of the family Jaunatropicoles. 
== Distribution ==
The tree's native range is found exclusively along the east coast of Pasia south to central Avishaman and north into much of Kosna where it originally was only found in the swamps east of Sharikba and around Sharikba, but colonizers have since introduced the banyan tree more west and north in Kosna allowing it to be found on Kosna's west coast up into southern Hartnett. The tree has been introduced in the Celestial Islands where it is common cultivated but has escaped into the wild in southernmost points of the island.
