Ficus glumosa

The mountain fig (Ficus glumosa) is an Afrotropical fig shrub or tree, growing up to 20 m tall. It is found over a range of altitudes and broken terrain types, including kopjes, outcrops, escarpments and lava flows, or in woodlands. It is for the greater part absent from the tropical rainforest zone, or the dry interior regions of Botswana, Namibia and South Africa.

A methanol extract from the leaves has been shown to be effective against diarrhea which may explain the use of the plant in traditional medicine.
