The Pondoland fig (Ficus bizanae) is a species of fig that is endemic to forests of coastal South Africa, [2] where it is threatened by habitat loss. [1]
Their figs are borne on old wood, in small clusters on stumpy branchlets. [3] Their leaves have entire margins, usually have rounded bases, and sometimes have acuminate tips. [3] It is pollinated by Courtella wasps. [2]
The Heart-leaved fig, Ficus polita , is a similar forest species, but is distributed towards the north.
