''Ficus maxima'' is a fig tree which is native to Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and South America south to Paraguay. Figs belong to the family Moraceae. The specific epithet ''maxima'' was coined by Scottish botanist Philip Miller in 1768; Miller's name was applied to this species in the ''Flora of Jamaica'', but it was later determined that Miller's description was actually of the species now known as ''Ficus aurea''. To avoid confusion, Cornelis Berg proposed that the name should be conserved for this species. Berg's proposal was accepted in 2005. Individuals may reach heights of . Like all figs it has an obligate mutualism with fig wasps; ''F. maxima'' is only pollinated by the fig wasp ''Tetrapus americanus'', and ''T. americanus'' only reproduces in its flowers. ''F. maxima'' fruit and leaves are important food resources for a variety of birds and mammals. It is used in a number of herbal medicines across its range. ==Description== ''Ficus maxima'' is a tree which ranges from tall.
