Ficus rubra (aka red affouche[1] or affouche rouge[2]) is a species of flowering plant in the family of Moraceae, native to some islands in the Indian Ocean.

It is found in Madagascar, Comoros, Réunion, Mauritius and Seychelles.[3] It also has been introduced to Kauai island (Hawaiʻi).[1]

Pollinator of this plant is the wasp Nigeriella avicola Wiebes.[4]

On Kauai island, Port Jackson fig wasps (Pleistodontes imperialis) are able to do the job as substitute pollinators.[1]
