This is great. Never seen this before. Could this be some variety of Ficus elastica. Not the general elastica of course. One of my friends … who is revising Moraceae of India (excluding Ficus) has identified this as Ficus curtipes Corner.

A medium sized tree. FICUS PANDA What is correct name for Ficus panda? Leaves seem to be obtuse therefore it should be Ficus curtipes Corner (=F. obtusifolia). Ficus panda is a nursery or floricultural term for Ficus benjamina usually used for hedges and boundary plantation.
A Ficus growing on a Dillenia tree. Bhalukpong, Assam. For i.d. Isn’t Calophyllum inophyllum the fruits of C. inophyllum look different … I think you are right.
What about Ficus microcarpa (?) as per link:
http://www.hear.org/starr/plants/images/species/?q=ficus+microcarpa If you just consider the leaves, well they are like C. inophyllum. But By any chance could it be strangler fig then, going purley by the description “the plant grew on the Dillenia tree,climbing. It is likely a Ficus.” Leaves appear to be obtuse, it should be Ficus curtipes Corner. The photographs identified as Ficus curtipes (=F. obtusifolia).
Looks like a fig tree. Foliage looks too big to be F. microcarpa or F. microcarpa ‘Green Gem’, but too small and wrong shape to be F. elastica, F. macrophylla, or F. columnaris. Looks close (shape, size) to F. rubiginosa, but foliage lacks any tomentum, is too concolorous, and has fruit of the wrong color. Eliminating a few candidates is a significant step. I think F. microcarpa How about Ficus nitida? Thanks …, Seems to be the right ID! Compare with this image The synonym was confusing to me Another small point. The leaf illustrations of Ficus microcarpa at Yes Tabish sir, I realised just now that there are many issues in Ficus nitida Thunb. Ficus 10. 1786 [21 Dec 1786] THIS IS VALID
Ficus nitida Miq. London J. Bot. 6: 582. 1847 ; nom. inval. (Valid name is Ficus straita) Ficus nitida B.Heyne ex Roth Nov. Pl. Sp. 387. 1821 [Apr 1821] ; nom. inval. (Valid name is Urostigma nitidum) Similarly there are three benjaminas 😛
Ficus benjamina L. — Mant. Pl. 129. (1767) (This should be valid) and so should be Ficus benjamina var. benjamina
Ficus benjamina Willd. — Sp. Pl., ed. 4 [Willdenow] 4(2): 1143. (1806) Ficus benjamina Wall. — Numer. List [Wallich] n. 4503. (1830) Then there are four microcarpas:
Ficus microcarpa L.f. — Suppl. Pl. 442. (1782) (this is Valid)
Ficus microcarpa Blume — Bijdr. Fl. Ned. Ind. 9: 442. (1825) Ficus microcarpa Vahl — Enum. Pl. [Vahl] ii. 188. 1805 Ficus microcarpa Hort. Berol. ex Walp. — Ann. Bot. Syst. (Walpers) i. 677. I remember one of the members was interested in Ficus, we can just poke him to get involved. Hemant Tripathi. I am forwarding this to him to comment if he has any, and another friend of mine in Thailand, who has interest in Ficus and Oaks.
…..,
Can you please check this plant and give your comments. …, you may pass this on to … Hope he is doing fine. Should be Ficus curtipes Corner (F. obtusifolia Roxb. – Illegitimate) Thanks …! That is the right ID I think! The tree is native to eastern parts of India, used as an ornamental.

Ficus curtipes Corner. Thank you …
This should be Ficus curtipes
  Ficus id please: 2 images.
Found in nursery garden in Chennai in the month of June. Ficus curtipes? What I understand from my taxonomy friend (who is familiar with Ficus species) is: “This seems to be Ficus elastica (cultivar /ornamental variety) may be from Havaii, now a days lot of manipulation is being done on this species for commercial purposes, the other near proximity species are F.craterostoma, F.cyathistipula, F.concinna are being bred for bonsai and indoor display” Check for Ficus retusa as well – feedback from another friend. To me also appears close to images at Ficus curtipes There is no doubt about this photograph to be of Ficus curtipes but presence of receptacles (figs) will help in differentiating this from Ficus ilicina an African Ficus species with similar leaf morphology and used as a bonsai in commercial plants. There is also a variety of Ficus natalensis with similar leaves, so receptacles are necessary for authentication. In nursery they are calling it as lipstick fig. We have one Ficus natalensis subsp. leprieurii (Cultivated) on our site, but it looks different. This looks close. …: https://www.gbif.org/species/6358688 Here are below some links for Ficus natalensis and its sub-species or varieties. . Ficus sp. (2) from Assam KD 14 Oct 24: 5 images. I guess this sp. is Ficus curtipes. I guess the ID is correct.
