A latitudinal suppressed bud which is embedded in the outer bark across the bole of Ficus religiosa is described. It might be very long and extend over half of the bole's circumference. The suppressed bud contains cambium which forms secondary xylem and phloem. Circular vessels and circular sieve tubes were frequently observed in the base of the bud as well as above its constriction areas.
