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. Comments please.

A Ficus growing on a Dillenia tree. Bhalukpong, Assam. For i.d.
Isn’t Calophyllum inophyllum
the fruits of C. inophyllum look different … http://www.flickr.com/search/?s=int&z=m&w=91314344@N00&q=calophyllum+inophyllum&m=text 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.
Small (maybe young) tree, cultivated Leaves leathery, shining, obovate, rounded tip. Photographed on 2nd Sept 2010 Location Delhi (Garden of Five Senses) 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.
That’s about all I’ve got. I’m pretty certain it is one that I haven’t seen before. Eliminating a few candidates is a significant step. I think F. microcarpa Here are mine from Delhi. Attachments (2)
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.
