The Knobbly fig (Ficus sansibarica) is an African species of cauliflorous fig. It occurs in south-eastern Africa from coastal elevations to 900 m above sea level.[1] They prefer deep sandy soil and often start life as a strangler.[2] The figs are produced in clusters on characteristic wart-like, leafless branchlets on the trunk and main branches.[2] F. chirindensis of southeastern Zimbabwe and adjacent Mozambique is a similar tree, but has the leaves more oval and may have buttress roots.
