Thanks for this info, & questions to follow-up @JasonPStewartNMsnc2016. As with @Csteele4, I will get back to you once I get back to the site. Hopefully this week, didn't make it when I last thought I would. Cheers, MazzV

Yeah safety first for all !
Those comment notes work (as well as photographs) !
Identification confirmed.
If in later seasons this plant fruits then you may double check the identification and photograph these, as well.
Leaves' form in general including shape, suggests _Ficus rubiginosa_ as well, but leaves form in general varies with conditions so only suggestive not conclusive, by the way of sharing information regarding field spotting and my identification processes.

Ficus rubiginosa

@JasonPStewartNMsnc2016 Good morning!

The plant is growing on a rocky ledge which unfortunately I can't safely get to - so the photographs are the best I can get (i.e. without holding the plant).

-Rusty coloured underside - I can't say more about hairs.
-Petioles less than 4cm
-Lamina less than 10 cm

Ficus rubiginosa

Martin (Predavec) . Good morning !

Just properly checking the evidence to have certainty,
regarding these leaves:
• rusty–hairy under-sides ? (apparently in these three photographs)
• their petioles mostly less than 4 cm long ?
• lamina mostly less than 10 cm long ?

Or alternatively _Ficus macrophylla_ with leaves:
• rusty–hairy under-sides ? (apparently in these three photographs)
• petioles more than 4 cm long ?
• laminas generally more than 10 cm long ?
.
