I am assuming it is a Ficus but again I could be wrong. The leaves and stalks are velvety. Fruit is fig shaped with minute white hairs covering its body. Please advise.

Should be Ficus palmata (Wild Fig– Jangli Anjir) or if grafted as per fruit shown in additional attachment, it could be Ficus carica (Anjir)

Thank you … I took the leaf and the fruit from the same tree for a closer look.

It must be Ficus palmata

You assume clear. This plant belong to genus Ficus, the name of plant is Ficus palmata ssp. virgata.

The photographs are confirmed as Ficus palmata Forssk. subsp. virgata (Roxb.) Browicz

Jungli Goolar – indiantreepix | Google Groups : 4 images.

Here is a variety of Goolar/ Umber i.e Ficus Racemosa. Definitely it will have its own scientific name but locally it is known as Jungali Goolar. The leaves are very rough and wooly underneath. The tree is more like a large shrub. The only speicman that I’ve seen is 8 to 10 feet high. The figs grow on the twigs and not on the trunk like goolar, and yet it is called Jungli Goolar.

Please help ascertain its identity.

Tree Location: Chandra Shekhar Azad Agricultural University, Kanpur

Date: August 30, 2009

F. palmata

I was also thinking it to be palmata, but when I compared it with the pic in flowersofindia.net, the leaf base there is prominently cordate, here is it not so…

This could be a cultivar of the Edible Fig [Ficus carica] possibly Ficus carica var. rupestris. Have seen it growing in my neighbours farm.

Ficus carica – indiantreepix | Google Groups:
Dr.Almeida identified this as a cultivar of Ficus carica [the Edible Fig].

The pictures that I am seeing of Ficus Palmata, I am quite sure that tree in question here is Ficus Palmata only.
see here: Flowers of India

to me, it looks like Ficus palmata

Ficus palmata in Kashmir:
Ficus palmata in Kashmir, often self sown and found less commonly in Kashmir, though more common in Delhi, Jammu & Punjab. Interestingly the leaves are mostly unlobed in majority of specimens I have seen in our areas, that is the strange irony of plant naming.
Photgraphed from Balgarden, Srinagar on June 17, 2010.

This is Ficus palmata indeed, but I imagine what is palmate in it to be called so!! I had a discussion on this plant recently with … on the same issue. Could reach to any conclusion.

Here are mines from Munak Road Karnal (228Mts)
This plant was a shrub there having fruits
I think this is also Ficus palmata
