Ficus cordata, the Namaqua rock fig,[1] or Namaqua fig[2] is a species of fig that occurs in two disjunct populations in Africa, one in the arid southwest of the continent, and a second in the northern subtropics. In the south it is often the largest and most prominent tree,[3] and is virtually restricted to cliff faces and rock outcrops,[4] where it has a rock-splitting habit.[5]
