| The leaf of the fig (e.g. Ficus benghalenis) is sometimes the shape of the female yoni. It may, however, resemble the heart, like those that rustle in the Bodhi tree, but the [Ficus] tree combines both feminine and masculine traits. Its fruit is commonly associated with the fertility of the mother, whereas its leaf is connected with the masculine lingam.
Plutarch believed that the leaf looked like the male organ and linked this up with debased forms of Dionysian rituals, drinking and lustful expression.The white milk of the [Ficus] flows into its fruit and swells their sweetness with life-giving juices.
