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.
