Any chance for Ficus hederacea ?

I did not find distribution for this sp. above 1500m. and I guess leaf pattern looks different.


Acumen of leaves too long for Ficus hederacea, therefore this should be Ficus sarmentosa.


But F. sarmentosa is a shrub whereas this is a climber !


Ficus sarmentosa is a shrub or a woody vine (woody creeper or toot climber).


Thank you … We take it as Ficus sarmentosa Buch.-Ham. ex Sm.
