Ficus glumosa, also known as the mountain fig or hairy rock fig, is an Afrotropical fig shrub or tree, growing up to 20 m tall. It is found over a range of elevations 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.
