Ficus stricta (Miq.) Miq. (Moraceae) is a fig previously unrecorded in Singapore, and was listed as an exotic by Chong et al. (2010). However, since it was only recently collected in 2004, and with Singapore lying within the general geographic range of the species, we are of the opinion that the species is native but previously uncollected and overlooked because of its rarity. it is only known from Changi and Pulau Ubin, and we would like to propose it as nationally critically endangered. Oriental pied hornbills were observed to feed on its ripe syconia, and we believe that it is an important food resource of this and other bird species. Therefore, we suggest that existing reproductive individuals should be conserved and more plants should be planted in parks and gardens to support animal biodiversity.
