There are two key features in the leaves to distinguish: Leaf base is cordate and tail at tip shorter than 2.5 cm in F. arnottiana. In F. religiosa the leaf base is rounded to slightly cuneate and tail at tip much longer, usually longer than 3 cm and contributing about one third of leaf length. The leaves may be undulate and variously thick in both, depending on age.
.
F. rumphii is similar to F. religiosa in leaf base being truncate or rounded, although tail is 1.5-2.5 cm long like F. arnottiana.
.
Another interesting feature worth comparison is that C. religiosa has three basal veins (one midrib, two lateral), F. rumphii has 5 and R. arnottiana 7, in both latter lowermost pair is very faint.
.
Trunk of F. religiosa is darker with reddish brown with scales peeling off where as F. rumphii is much brighter with grey or whitish colour and most often comparatively smoother.
.
      Figs Of Bangalore – RA – Ficus religiosa – Peepal Tree:
Peepal is unrivalled for its antiquity and religious significance. No other tree is claimed to have such long life – one in Sri Lanka, said to have been planted in the year 288 B.C., still lives and flourishes. The Prince Siddhartha is known to have sat in meditation under a Bo tree and there found enlightenment from which time he became known as the Buddha. So, from then on the tree was sacred to Buddhists. Hindus associate the tree with the three gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, Vishnu being reputed to have been born under a Peepul, which is therefore Vishnu himself in the form of a tree.
A grand peepal tree is a perfect shade tree, and village meetings are often conducted under a peepal tree.
It is a large deciduous tree with a pale stem often appearing fluted on account of the numerous roots which have fused with the stem. Leaves leathery 4-8 inches long by 3-5 inches wide, somewhat egg-shaped or rounded, tailed at the tip and heart-shaped at the base, or sometimes rounded. The young leaves are frequently pink, change to copper and finally to green. Flowers minute within the receptacle. Fruit is a fig.

flora harmony to UshaDi from Hooghly: Your beautiful comment in the HARITAKI post moved me and i think this is the right time i share these photo with my beloved friends here. This is a ASHATHWA tree growing on a NEEM tree! But i do not know which NEEM is this one. Is it Melia azedarach? I have only the leaf image to identify this NEEM tree.
Species : 1) Ficus religiosa 2) Melia azedarach ?
Habit & Habitat : tree, on railway station
Date : 28-02-2012 (tree) & 12-03-2012 (neem leaf)
Place : Kamarkundu Stn. (Hooghly), WB The trees living in harmony, may be even interdependence … I call thes etrees married trees, .. for lack of anything more appropriate… I absolutely agree with you, yes, you have got the right word – married couple. Many thanks for pointing out the differences between the strangler and the married ones. The term ‘married’ itself explains it all. Some people/passengers stood nearby and watched my action there. Some of them said that it was GHORA-NEEM. In my “Plan Groups” book i found that the scientific name given for the GHORANIM is Melia azedarach. That is the story behind my PAKAMO 🙂
Ink Illustration : Ficus religiosa: Yes, Great work … Nice illustration of Ficus religiosa.

Help with the ID please. Clicked at Bangalore. This looks like Pipal [Ficus religiosa]. The common Ficus religiosa to me. . Fig Tree : 3 posts by 2 authors. This will be a great opportunity to receive details about fig tree, specially the good contributions, and promote the plantation of the same among Buddhist communities. Also, start with a demand to declare the same as ‘The Tree of Happiness”.

Tree ID- tall tree behind my apartment: Date:01/04/2012
Location: Cox Town, Bangalore
Had seen this tree while I was passing by couple of weeks back- it was completely bare, with only some pale white flowers- as these were quite high and the tree was a bit far away- am not 100% sure. Armed with my camera I went to see the tree again today- was surprised to see that it was full of leaves and the flowers were not be seen any more. What tree is this? Think you missed that he has mentioned pale white flowers. The description is not adequate ,but it could be the Chinese Tallow tree [Sapium sebiferum]. I checked a couple of sources on sapium sebiferum- one indicated that the tree grows to about 6 m. The one I spotted is over 12 m I think. Also, does the Chinese tallow shed all it’s leaves and go completely bare? Ficus arnottiana is my guess. The tips of branchlets bear long stipules (?); and fig-like (?) paired sessile structures found in the lower axils. Leaf tips seem to be caudate-acuminate (as seen in the bottom-right corner of the 2nd pic). Sapium has terminal inflorescence. Think you like … also missed that it was mentioned that the tree had ‘pale white flowers’. Thanks …, I may be wrong. But … has also mentioned that he was “…not 100% sure”. So, my guess was based only on the available picture 🙂 The plant in this thread is not arnottiana. But it is not Sapium either. It has to be as simple as Ficus religiosa. Here is a much clearer snap I took just now- hope this helps to do the ID. Sorry if I imagined the white flowers and threw everyone off track…Does ficus religiosa completely shed all its leaves during some part of the year- tree was completely bare in mid March. May i humbly paste here the links of images of Ficus religiosa that i recorded in 2009. It is very common plant in West Bengal and from my old records (also seen at the top-right coloumn of the image page) i see that this tree is completely bare by 9th March (Picasa).
By March 21 it has some foliage – Picasa
…and by 6th April it is covered with mature canopy = Picasa The tree also looks like Hura crepitans, the sand box tree. The tree looks exactly similar to Ficus religiosa as the the leaves are almost look alike of Ficus religiosa. But the distinguishing features are the stems, flowers and fruits . The bole has spine like structures. Please check the stem and report whether you have big spines and also watch for the flowers and fruits. Thanks … for sharing the snaps of Ficus Religiosa. I have truly been blind and ignorant all these years- now I know that it sheds its leaves, and will be on the lookout. I am familiar with the Ficus religiosa but not that expert that i could identify a plant or tree by its bark!
In fact it is so common here and revered by all Hindu as representative of Lord Shiva (1. Wiki 2. http://www.thecolorsofindia.com/peepal/origin-of-peepal-tree.html) that i never paid attention to this magnificent tree. As far as i can remeber i took a picture of a blue-throated barbet, sometimes in 2009, perched on this peepal tree. Attaching the same pic (the original – http://www.biolib.cz/en/taxonimage/id102515/?taxonid=23312). But, again i am not sure if it was a F. religiosa or some other tree! The link of PEEPAL & Lord SHIVA is – Wiki … may be on the correct tract… that this is Hura crepitans.. Never heard of Hura crepitans. Can you please confirm if this H. crepitans is a deciduous or a evergreen one?
Wiki says it is evergreen – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hura_crepitans
This one says deciduous – http://www.esac.pt/abelho/cv/abelho_etal2005_biotropica.pdf
yet, this one says, “….. classified as deciduous, but some leaves seem to be present all year….” – Book link Yes Ficus religiosa can shed the leaves completely if it is not near a water body. By the way on the contrary Hura crepitans is an evergreen tree!! I would stand for Hura crepitans of Euphorbiaceae family. FICUS RELIGIOSA Taking it as Ficus religiosa L.
Does not match with images at Hura crepitans
To me too it looks like Ficus religious
VALMIKI : OBSERVER OF NATURE:
efloraofindia:”Id 27082011MR3’’ Peepal tree Pune: In most of the Ficus seeds are dispersed through birds after defecation. So seeds can grow anywhere they fall in normal condition, but usually they grow as epiphytes or lithophytes or on the cracks in the buildings. .
Attaching one article on the similar issue. It talks about dispersal by bird followed by ants, which is very interesting.
