It is closed to Ficus hispida and chiefly differs in caespitose habit and lateral bracts present on fig body. In this paper, we introduce for this species with a short data on taxonomy, types, morphology, ecology and distribution of the mentioned species accompanied with the photos. The vouchers were collected in Cham Chu special used forest (Tuyen Quang province), preserved in the Herbarium of the Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources, Hanoi, Vietnam (HN) and VNU-University (HNU).
