Ficus consociatavon Blume CL (1825) In: Bijdragen tot de Flora van Nederlandsch Indie 447. is a banyan Ficus species in the family Moraceae. No subspecies are listed in the Catalogue of Life. The species can be found in Indo-China and western Malesia. In Vietnam it may be called đa đồng hành.
Its common name is Karet Binasah. It grows to a height of 25 meters and is pollinated by Wasp.
Like Ficus elastica, it produces a latex that has been used in the production of rubber. However, it eventually fell out of favor for such a purpose, owing to the resin hardening with time.
