What creeper?/ABDEC37 : 9 posts by 5 authors. 5 images. I think I have the answer to this query. Today while walking back I met a shepherd collecting leaves for his cattle. In the large bundle consisting mostly of Grey Oak leaves, he also had some lengths of this creeper. Some had fig like fruits on them. Here are some close ups. I am almost certain that this is Ficus hederacea or Ivy Fig. Please advise. Ivy Fig (Ficus hederacea)

Kindly idendify
Pl. check
was this growing wild or in any current or old neglected garden. makes a big difference. please tell us
may be it is a Ficus assamica ??
we have seen several cases including one by … from Kaziranga, look: /species/m—z/m/moraceae/ficus/ficus-assamica with … giving his opinion.
and by … from hooghly district, ie lower gangetic plains
what i gather is it may not be like strong lliana, but may be scandent shrub looking like a vine,. hence my previous questions.
secondly if it was in some old garden: humans are known to try and train plants as for example … tried to train a mango tree to vine, a part of it is stlll around in his ancestral property.
of course i dream…. that you found some such creation? This appears to be Ficus tinctoria subsp. gibbosa (Blume) Corner [Moraceae].
Ficus tinctoria ssp gibbosa to me too,
This should be Ficus heterophylla L.f.
well becoming interesting day by day. i thought it may be ficus assamica (with two examples we have on hand). then both … both vote for Ficus tinctoria ssp gibbosa. and now … (dont know his email) says it could be Ficus heterophylla. now we need a key
I will also go with … for id (also an expert on this genus) as images and details at Ficus heterophylla compared to those at Ficus assamica or Ficus tinctoria subsp. gibbosa
For F. tinctoria subsp. gibbosa and F. assamica morphological characters for leaves as well as receptacles are much different to Ficus species in this post.  id of ficus species please_Shillong: 1 very high res. image. from shillong forest… grows to a be shrub upto 7 ft tall Ficus ! Elevation, date, close up images ? elevation 1580 m above sea level. 28 oct 2022 Please check Ficus heterophylla L.f., Yes, appears close to images at Ficus heterophylla

Ficus bhotanica King syn : Ficus gasparriniana var. laceratifolia (H.Lév. & Vaniot) Corner This should be Ficus heterophylla L.f., in Odisha locally known as Bhui Dumur, Ganthi Sahada, Atto Dumri, Gaori-sheora, Ghoti-sheora, Buroni.
Hooghly – might be Ficus heterophylla var. scabrella (Roxb.) King : Attachments (5). 2 posts by 2 authors.
It is interesting to note that “Bengal Plants” as well as FBI & “Botany of Bihar & Orissa” describes three varieties of F. heterophylla L.f., and our esteemed experts threw some light over F. heterophylla L.f. in one of my earlier posts. The more interesting part is that the distribution of these three var., as per “Bengal Plants” –
I think another my previous post is F. heterophylla var. repens – https://groups.google.com/d/msg/indiantreepix/3iAY7MJ. But, this one is not.
And it is very easy when one uses “heterophylla“!!! I think it should be Ficus gasparriniana var. laceratifolia as per discussions at Ficus sarmentosa Buch. This should be Ficus heterophylla L.f. https://efloraofindia.com/
