Date : 09-03-2017 Habit : Large deciduous tree; shoot hairy; fruit rounded, yellow,and red when ripe. Habitat : Cultivated Note : Fruits eaten by birds. The photographs are identified as Ficus drupacea Thunb. Much closer to Ficus drupacea Thunb., plant shows different leaf shapes, hairiness and venations according to habitat.

Location: Bajrabarahi, Nepal
Altitude: 4800 ft.
Date: 13 April 2013
But Ficus aurea Nutt is not listed in Nepal.
Same tree today ! Request for validation ! This should be Ficus drupacea Thunb. (No chance for getting Ficus aurea Nutt in Nepal because of its Caribbean Origin) All the old and new photographs are temporarily identified as Ficus drupacea Thunb. Location: Chobhar, Nepal
Altitude: 4600 ft.
Date: 18 July 2017 Attachments (5) It is not F. aurea. I have seen F. aurea in Mysore. There are many here.   Ficus drupacea: 2 images.
Ficus drupacea both the varieties from Namdapha NP Arunachal Pradesh. Lot of animals, including, hornbills, barbets, hoolock gibbons feed on it extensively. Both the varieties occur sympatrically in AP.
I agree with … that this is Ficus drupacea Thunb. of Moraceae family
Ficus mysorensis is now a synonym of F.drupacea Please use the following link for reference
http://www.biotik.org/india/species/ It is edible for animals and birds for sure. We generally dont eat it. But if you collect it from the plant when it is ripened we can eat it.
Remember that there will be lots of fig wasps in it!
That would be world’s first non-veg fruit then…. :)) Kannada: Goni-Mara ( Ficus drupacea var. pubescens) . A common tree in Karnataka.
Mysore Fig is a strangler fig with a large canopy.
Leaf blade obovate-elliptic, with a rounded base. Leaves and the stalk are densely covered with yellowish brown velvety hairs.
Figs are large, conic-ellipsoid, densely covered with brownish yellow long hairs. When ripe, the figs turn orange. Involucral bracts are ovate-lanceolate.
The species name drupacea means fleshy fruit, which refers to the fact that the figs look like fleshy fruits.
Ref. Flowers of India
More Nice pictures! The figs attract bats.
Request Tree ID – Is it a fig or satin leaf or somethingelse?: Old airport road, bangalore … just a guess: Ficus drupacea (syn. Ficus mysorensis) of family Moraceae I initially thought it was Mysore Fig, and went and took pictures of mysore fig in lalbagh, which looks different. yes its Ficus drupacea var. pubescens syn. F. mysorensis Thanks, I will rename it again as Mysore Fig.      Ficus mysorensis : Confirm ID : Lalbagh, Bangalore : 080712 : AK-3: A small tree with fruits.
I am aware of the huge Mysore Fig tree in Lalbagh.
But is this also Mysore Fig?
This was closer to the lake.
Kindly confirm. Yes it looks like Ficus drupacea Thunb. Syn: Ficus mysorensis
Ficus tree for identification 080113MK02: Date: 27 Dec 2012
Place: Kolli Hills, TN
Alt.: 1500 m asl could it be Ficus mysorensis?
. Ficus tree for identification 080113MK02: This could be Ficus callosa as aerial roots are not seen. Ficus drupacea usually has a few aerial roots. Have it on my property at Shahapur. My photographs of a Ficus drupacea tree at Phansad WLS are available at this link
Am sending my photographs of Ficus callosa for comparison in a separate mail. Ficus drupacea var. pubescens, I think so. yes it does looks like Ficus drupacea var. pubescens.
