“…Numerous studies were made on genus Ficus to clarify the phylogenetic relationships and evolution in certain subgenera, sections and lower taxonomic ranks, utilizing data sets from entirely different criteria as macromorphology (Berg and Corner, 2005;Chen and Chen, 2005), micromorphology (Dixon, 2002;Neves et al, 2002;Alejandra and José, 2004;Sonibare et al, 2006), chemotaxonomy (Pistelli et al, 2000;Sharaf et al, 2000;Sandabe et al, 2006;Andrzej et al, 2007), reproductive biology (Douglas et al, 2004;Weiblen, 2004), molecular criteria (Noth et al, 1996;Weiblen, 2000;Anuntalabhochai et al 2008) and chromosome studies (Azizian and Sonboli, 2001). However, the obtained results were different; none of these studies have reached a conclusive result in determining the inter-specific relationships between the taxa of Ficus.…”

N THE PRESENT work, the pollen morphological characters were extensively studied in 17 taxa from genus Ficus (Moraceae), based on examination with light and scanning electron microscopy. The studied taxa represent three subgenera (Ficus, Sycomorus and Urostigma), collected from three Egyptian Botanical Gardens (Orman, Ain-Shams and Zoo-garden). The obtained results of fundamental and evolutionary significance were: pollen size (less than 20 µm), pollen shape (circular or elliptic), pollen class (vary from di-to triporate), and the pollen surface sculpture (psilate or finely scabrate). The dendrogram produced from the cluster analysis of the characters of pollen grains have been discussed, and shed light on the relationships, similarities and dissimilarities between the studied taxa. Pollen data only does not support macromorphological evidence for the identification of Ficus species.

“…Use : Leaves and bark are used in skin diseases. Methylated flavonoids were found only in Ficus altissima, indicating that flavonoids could play an important role in the systematics of the genus (Sharaf et al, 2000). Stem and bark produce white latex which is used to make rubber.…”

“…It was extensively used as traditional folk medicinal plant in China for the treatment of various ailments, as for coronary heart disease, senile dementia, cerebral thrombosis, nervous system diseases [5]. The literature survey indicates that only one report is available regarding the chemical compositions from F. altissima species, surface flavonoids were analysed and methylated flavonoids has been found from the plant [6]. To the best of our knowledge, however, no attempt has been made previously to explore the chemical composition of EO from fruit residue of F. altissima, or related to its antioxidant activity.…”

The chemical composition of hydrodistilled oil from the fruit residue of Ficus altissima was analyzed for the first time by GC/GC–MS. As a result, a total of seventeen compounds were identified, representing all of the oil. Aliphatic hydrocarbons, esters and alkylenes were found to compose three major chemotype accounted for 64.25%, 26.00% and 9.75% of the oil, respectively. The main components was demonstrated to be dibutyl phthalate(18.14%), n-docosane(7.94%), diisooctyl phthalate(7.86%), n-heptadecane(7.70%), n-tricosane(7.68%), phytane(7.19%). Antioxidant activity of the oil was assessed by the free radical scavenging (DPPH). The study offers theoretic basis for pharmaceutical utilization of the landscape plant F. altissima.
