“…Distribution: The species native to India (Himalayas), Bhutan, Nepal, Sikkim, Myanmar, Thailand, and Southern China (Berg & Corner 2005;Lim 2012). In the Malesia Region, F. auriculata was only recorded from Selangor and Pahang, Malaysia (Corner 1965;Berg & Corner 2005;Zhang et al 2018). However, in this study, this species has been planted in Java and Madura.…”

Ficus is the largest genus in the Moraceae family, with the syconium inflorescence as its characteristic. This genus has a wide distribution worldwide, and about 367 species were found in the Malesia region. There are 74 species have been recorded on Java, and seven species are known as introduced plants. Based on our recent observations in West Java, Central Java, Yogyakarta, and East Java, three newly recorded Ficus species were found, namely F. auriculata Lour., F. maclellandii King, and F. natalensis subsp. leprieurii (Miq.) C.C. Berg. The species were introduced to Java as an ornamental plant. Descriptions, photographs, and a brief discussion of the three newly recorded species are presented in this manuscript.

“…Roxburgh fig, F. oligodon , and F. hainanensis were also the same ethnospecies among Danu, Pa-O, and Shan. Molecular phylogeny research studies have revealed the same three forms as one species [ 45 ], and the three were once considered synonyms of roxburgh fig [ 38 ]. It may be worthwhile to study more of the similarities among local names and molecular phylogeny.…”

Background Most regions of Myanmar fall within the Indo-Burma Biodiversity Hotspot and are threatened with biodiversity loss. Development of a comprehensive framework for sustainable development is crucial. Figs are ecological keystone species within these regions and are also important for traditional spiritual food and health uses, which often have accompanying conservation practices. The traditional use and management of figs may offer clues to help guide the development of national policies for sustainable development. In this study, we showcase the rich ethnobotanical knowledge as well as the variety of collection and conservation practices of figs among five ethnic groups in Southern Shan State. Methods We performed both key informant and semi-structured interviews with 114 informants from five ethnic groups. Their uses for figs were categorized according to local practices and recipes. Informants were asked about trends in conservation status over the past 10 years and any conservation-related customs and practices. Data were analyzed quantitatively with common quantitative ethnobotany indices, the use report (UR) and use value (UV). Results Informants reported the uses of eight fig species (Ficus auricularta, F. concinna, F. geniculata, F. hispida, F. racemosa, F. religiosa, F. semicordata, and F. virens). F. geniculata and F. virens were most useful (UR = 228) and were used by all five ethnic groups, corresponding to a high use value (UV = 2). Treatments for 16 diseases were reported from seven species. Household consumption, economic and sacred uses were accompanied by sustainable practices of harvest and protection. Traditional taboos, in situ and ex situ conservation were common especially for highly demanded species (F. geniculata and F. virens) and the sacred fig F. religiosa. Conclusion Findings suggest that figs are useful for food (all informants) and medicine (13.16% of the informants) in the study area. Traditional taboos, in situ and ex situ conservation practices help to maintain sustainable utilization of locally important figs. This is an early contribution to the traditional knowledge of edible figs. Although similar uses have been reported in neighboring countries for seven of the fig species, the ethnobotanical use of F. concinna is novel.

“…The results showed that the positive effect of Aristolone content in F. auriculata affected proliferation supported by previous studies. as a single species (Zhang, 2018). It uses for food and has socioeconomic importance, the near-ripe peeled or unpeeled fruits and young leaves of F. auriculata were sold such as in the north and central Vietnam (Mon, 2020).…”

Antioxidants and herbs have been scientifically proven to be one of the substances that can prevent cervical cancer. The incidence of cervical cancer in Indonesia is very high and is a vital cause of death of women in Indonesia. Every day 40-45 new cases emerge, which means 20-25 people die from cervical cancer in Indonesia. Several previous studies have shown that there are plants, fruits and seeds that contain high antioxidants and are believed to prevent and reduce pain due to cervical cancer. Besides, many herbs that also found in Indonesia are known to affect cancer cells. Ficus auriculata can find in Indonesia. However, not many people use the available natural resources that are suspected to prevent cervical cancer. This study was a preliminary study analyzed of Aristolone in Ara Fruit used as a prediction of apoptosis in HeLa cells. The results showed that the positive effect of Aristolone content in F. auriculata affected proliferation supported by previous studies.
