Ficus thonningii is a species of Ficus. It is native to Africa. It is commonly known as Mugumo to the Agikuyu or the Strangler Fig in common English. Recent phylogenetic analysis suggests it may be a species complex.
The species has diverse economic and environmental uses across many faming and pastoral communities in Africa. In some dryland areas in Africa for example, it is a very good source of dry season livestock fodder, because it produces highly nutritious foliage in large amounts all year round. Parts of the plant edible for livestock include, leaves, twigs and barks, and their nutirional value varies with season
