The Heart-leaved fig (Ficus polita) is a species of fig that is native to forests of the African tropics, the East African coast and Madagascar. Their figs are borne on old wood, in small clusters on stumpy branchlets. Their leaves have entire margins and are often heart-shaped, with the tip acuminate. The pollinating wasp is Courtella bekiliensis bekiliensis (Risbec) in Madagascar, and C. b. bispinosa (Wiebes) on the African mainland. It is similar to the Pondoland fig, Ficus bizanae, which is also a forest species.
