Assessment rationale/justification
Assessments against all criteria give no reason to consider it threatened. The estimated rate of decline in range over the last 10 years does not exceed the 30% decline required for qualification as VU against Criterion A; EOO far exceeds the 20,000km2 VU threshold for Criterion B and the number of locations exceeds five, exceeding the Criterion D2 threshold. There is no information on population size to assess against Criteria C and D1 and no life history models to inform assessments against Criterion E. The AOO is below the Criterion B threshold but the number of recent locations exceeds 10 and there is no evidence of continuing decline, fragmentation or extreme fluctations in the population. None of the estimates approach the thresholds sufficiently to suggest NT might be an appropriate categorisation.

Taxon distribution as listed in assessment
Within the UAE, this species is widespread throughout the Hajar Mountain range and the Ru'us al-Jibal (as Ficus cordata subsp. salicifolia; Jongbloed et al. 2003). It typically occurs at low elevations and is rarely found above 500 m altitude (Jongbloed et al. 2003). Globally, the native range of this species is given as from the western Cape Province to Cameroon, and east to the Arabian Peninsula (Board of Trustees, RBG Kew 2019), although Bhanumas et al. (2013) consider the distribution in Africa to generally be more northerly (Algeria, Niger, Libya, Congo, South Africa, Botswana, Egypt, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Djibouti, Somalia, and Arabia (Saudi Arabia, Yemen, United Arab Emirates, and Oman). Bordbar and Mirtadzadini (2019) recorded the species for Iran.

This tree species is known to grow within wadi environments (Mahmoud et al. 2018). It can grow up to 15 m in height and has smooth grey bark (Jongbloed et al. 2003). The tree produces a milky sap, has alternating, lance-shaped leaves and round orange fruits (Jongbloed et al. 2003). It flowers between May and December (Jongbloed et al. 2003). Typically, it grows within wadi banks and gorges at low elevations (Jongbloed et al. 2003) and is described as 'more prominent on rock debris, especially near wadis' (Perry 2008). This fig tree is also reported to be the most drought-tolerant of the Ficus species found within Arabia (Jongbloed et al. 2003).

MEW (2010) considered this species to be widespread in the Hajar Mountains and in the Ru'us al Jibal in plantations, and Jongbloed et al. (2003) also reported the species from east coast plantations. However, the species seems to be absent from Feulner's (2011) study of the Ru'us al-Jibal. The global range of this species is across much of Africa, through the Arabian Peninsula, to East Asia and the Pacific (Board of Trustees, RBG Kew 2019). GRIN (2019) considers the species to be native to only Oman and Yemen in the Arabian Peninsula.

This species is an annual herb with slender stems that can reach up to 45 cm in height (Jongbloed et al. 2003). It has small, oval leaves and fruits with white tufts of hair, in addition to small purple-white flower-heads that can be seen between December and May (Jongbloed et al. 2003). This plant is generally found in plantations and fields (Jongbloed et al. 2003).
