'''''Ficus microcarpa''''', also known as '''Chinese Banyan''', '''Malayan Banyan''', '''Indian Laurel''' or '''Curtain fig''', is a [[banyan]] native in the range from [[Sri Lanka]] to [[India]], southern [[People's Republic of China]], the [[Malay Archipelago]], the [[Ryukyu Islands]], [[Australia]], and [[New Caledonia]].
''F. microcarpa'' was widely distributed as an ornamental plant and is one of the most common street trees in warm climates. The symbiotic pollinating [[fig wasp]], ''[[Parapristina verticillata]]'', was introduced along with ''F. microcarpa''. The tree is considered a major [[invasive species]] in [[Hawaii]], [[Florida]], and [[Bermuda]], as well as [[Central America|Central]] and [[South America]].
