Ficus annulata, commonly known as the ringed fig, is a species of flowering plant in the family Moraceae.[3] It is native to southern Yunnan, Southeast Asia including the Andaman Islands, and most of Malesia.[2] An initially epiphytic tree reaching 35 m (115 ft), it is found in the wet tropics at elevations up to 1,000 m (3,300 ft).[3][1] It is occasionally cultivated for its high-quality rubber, and its figs are edible and are consumed by local peoples.[1] Found in a variety of forest habitats, it has been assessed as Least Concern.[1]
