Abstract
Ficus spp is a group of plants which has high diversity and generally found in lowland ecosystems. Information about ecological distribution of Ficus spp in Kuningan District was carried out through literature studies, field observations and herbarium materials. The materials and methods used in this study were the locations where of Ficus spp and herbarium grew. The purpose of this study was to determine the ekological distribution of Ficus spp. in Kuningan District. The results showed that Ficus spp found consisted of 24 species scattered in lowland forest ecosystems in the north, south, west and east of Kuningan District. The highest number of species found was in the eastern part of Kuningan District with 19 species, while the smallest number was in the western part of Kuningan District. namely 5 species. The name of Ficus spp found in all locations were Ficus ampelas Burm.f., Ficus fistulosa Reinw.ex Blume , and Ficus variegata Blume. Tree habitus is the one that dominates the distribution of Ficus spp, which is as much as 79,17% of the total species found, while the place where it grows is found at an altitude of 500 m asl - 1,300 m asl. It can be conclude that Ficus spp. can grow in the lowlands, especially areas that are disturbed and the distribution of the genus is very wide.
