According to herbarium records and anecdote Ficus sumatrana was previously very common in the forest at Kinabalu Park and along the roads leading up to the park, but has vanished in the last 50 years. As the forest has vanished Ficus benjamina has replaced F. sumatrana in cultivated areas and on the edge of towns.
