This is a small tree from CBD Belapur Hills.
Date/Time: 02-09-2010 / 12:10PM
Location: CBD Belapur hills, Navi Mumbai.
Habitat: Wild
Plant Habit: Tree


… possibly some species of Ficus ?


I think its Ficus tinctoria Forst. f. ssp. parasitica (Willd.) Corner
easily identified by its rough leaves & unequal leaf base.

Wow, I have special affinity towards Ficus… Never knew about this one. Ficus tinctoria G.Forst. Fl. Ins. Austr. 76. 1786. Attachments (1)

Ficus sp for id- 301211- NS1- Flora of Madhya Pradesh:
This
large tree of abt 20 mts was photographed at a temple garden at Betul, MP.

The fruits were stalked.
Leaves were oval.


This looks like Ficus parasitica ssp. gibbosa [previously Ficus gibbosa var. parasicita] on possibly a Dalbergia lanceolaria tree. Will send my photographs of this later.


Have a few of these trees on my property at Shahapur including one on my Banyan tree [a Strangler on Strangler]. Sending a few photographs.


…, Ficus parasitica ssp. gibbosa ..yes..
But how U identified d tree – Dalbergia lanceolaria ?? I m nt disagreeing.. I just wanna understand.

This is, most probably, Ficus tinctoria ssp parasitica.

Altitude: 2600 ft.
Ficus …???
It was attached to a tree.

This should be Ficus tinctoria subsp. gibbosa (Blume) Corner


It’s looks like but I felt different species. Still not confirmed.


Could it be Ficus tinctoria subsp. parasitica G. Forst. since it was parasitic to another tree and Ficus tinctoria subsp. gibbosa (Blume) Corner is not listed in Nepal.

http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=110&taxon_id=242322517


This is Ficus tinctoria subsp. gibbosa (Blume) Corner
The species has already been documented from Nepal and is one of the
reported Ficus species out of 36 species.
Whereas, Ficus tinctoria subsp. parasitica G. Forst. is synonymous to F. tinctoria sub. gibbosa (Blume) Corner.


ID Ficus tinctoria subsp. gibbosa (Blume) Corner is final ?

Ficus tinctoria G.Forst, epiphytic tree, associated with F. benghalensis found near Royakotta, Krishnagiri dt Tamilnadu


Very good collection.

Would like to learn more during Moraceae fortnight. Eagerly waiting for its turn before smaller family fortnights……


This species is not listed in Synopsis of the Genus Ficus L. (Moraceae) in India Lal Babu Chaudhary*, Jana Venkata Sudhakar, Anoop Kumar, Omesh Bajpai, Rinkey Tiwari and G. V. S. Murthy-   Taiwania, 57(2): 193-216, 2012
I feel these appear close to images at Ficus tinctoria subsp. gibbosa, which is listed for India.

Yes I agree with you, I have also collected ficus tinctoria


Ficus tinctoria subsp. gibbosa (Blume) Corner (= Ficus gibbosa Blume)


Photographs are identified as Ficus tinctoria ssp. gibbosa 


This is Ficus tinctoriasubsp. gibbosa (Blume) Corner, a most common Fig shrub found on F. benghalensis.


.


Ficus tinctoria in FOI may be of Ficus tinctoria subsp. gibbosa (Blume) Corner as this subspecies only is listed for India in latest publication under Synopsis of the Genus Ficus L. (Moraceae) in India Lal Babu Chaudhary*, Jana Venkata Sudhakar, Anoop Kumar, Omesh Bajpai, Rinkey Tiwari and G. V. S. Murthy in Taiwania, 57(2): 193-216, 2012.

 /wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Identity%2021.jpg

IDENTITY 21:  Attaching an image of a Ficus species. This tree is quite common here. It grows on some other tree ( Like Ficus bengalensis, Ficus religiosa etc ), along with Premna jalpaiguriana. The leaves are like those of Streblus asper. Will you please identify it for me?


This looks like Ficus parasitica ssp. gibbosa. My photographs of this are available at this link

3 images.

Ficus for id-

Absolutely you’re right ma’am,

I agree with you for tinctoria, check for varieties, might be tinctoria var. gibbosa,


Thanks, …

Yes, appears close to images at Ficus tinctoria subsp. gibbosa

This is Ficus tinctoria subsp. tinctoria


Sorry I had given a wrong ID, this is Ficus tinctoria subsp. gibbosa (Blume) Corner

Another ficus near a forest stream in Tamhini forest. Please help in identification.

Ficus benjamina L.


It’s Ficus nervosa only,


Looking at the habit and the figs,  I think Ficus tinctoria


I guess it does not match with both sp. as suggested!


I agree with … for tinctoria


Thanks, …, for the id. Ficus tinctoria subsp. gibbosa ?

Ficus microcarpa——for validation: 4 images.

It looks more like Ficus tinctoria subsp. gibbosa


I too agree with …


I had based my id. because a local said they called it “ Nandarukh” in Marathi. Obviously he is wrong.
