\n

your posted plant is not Ficus tinctoria<\/i>,<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Ficus microcarpa<\/i><\/span><\/a>\u00a0& <\/span>Ficus retusa<\/i> L.<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0(Catalogue of Life) appears to be two different accepted names<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Ficus microcarpa<\/i> L.f.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
In biotik.org<\/span><\/a> F. retusa<\/i>\u00a0 L. is given as a synonym of F. microcarpa<\/b><\/i> L.f.
\nIf we read King, Talbot, Cooke as well as any number of older Floras this tree is known as Ficus retusa.<\/i> In some more modern sources it becomes F. microcarpa<\/i>. It is clear from descriptions that they refer to one and the same species.
\nCan you explain the differences between the 2 which have led to a change in the name?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Ficus retusa var. pisifera<\/i> (Miq.) Miq.<\/span><\/a> is given as a syn. of Ficus microcarpa<\/i> <\/b>L. fil.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0as per Catalogue of Life<\/div>\n
The Plant List Ver. 1.1<\/span><\/a> also gives many varities & formas as a syn. of Ficus<\/i> microcarpa<\/i><\/a> L.f.<\/div>\n
\n

Yes, all this is available online.<\/p>\n

\n

This is something based on nomenclature principles; Principle III : Priority Principle [ICBN]
\nIf a taxonomic group has been given two or more names<\/span>, the correct name is the first name that meets<\/span> <\/span>the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Code\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0<\/i><\/span>standards<\/span> for publication<\/span>.\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/span>Basically, this means that the priority of a name dates from the time that it was first published and made known to other botanists.
\ne.g. in Ficus microcarpa<\/i><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span>Ficus microcarpa<\/i> L.f. [1782<\/b>]
\nFicus retusa<\/i> var. pisifera<\/i> (Miq.) Miq. [1867]
\nFicus retus<\/i>a f. parvifolia<\/i> Miq. [1867]
\nFicus retusa<\/i> var. nitida<\/i> King [1887]
\nFicus retusa<\/i> var. crassifolia<\/i> W.C.Shieh [1963]
\nSo, there are 5 different names for one species, if an author describes or reports a species with other name, submitted herbarium samples later studied and validated at Authorised Herbariums (viz. KEW, NYBG etc.) and later based on code’s standards and sample authenticity new names or synonymy decided.
\nWhereas,\u00a0Ficus microcarpa<\/i>\u00a0L.f. and\u00a0<\/span>Ficus retusa<\/i> L. both are distinct species [according to TPL].
\nAccording to Chaudhary et. <\/i>al,\u00a0It is said that F. retusa<\/i> L. is a native of Java<\/u> and\u00a0does not occur in India<\/u> (database of Grin, Tropicos,\u00a0eFloras and Berg and Corner (2005)).<\/span> The Indian\u00a0materials are referred to F. microcarpa<\/i> L. f. (Rao, 1986).<\/span>\u00a0However, after examining F. microcarpa<\/i> L. f. and its\u00a0allied taxa it has been felt that the Indian materials need\u00a0to be re-examined from throughout their range of\u00a0distribution to know the correct identity and occurrence\u00a0of F. retusa<\/i> L. in India.<\/p>\n

..A species of Ficus<\/i> again… .. But lacking the fig characters…<\/p>\n

\n

Looks like Ficus mysorensis<\/i> to me, but the back of leaves in your pics is not as pubescent perhaps\u00a0because they seem to be new young leaves. Will post Pics for comparison separately.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Without figs but from leaves and short arial roots it can be F. amplissima<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Looks much closer to F. microcarpa <\/span>than F. mysorensis<\/span> to me. Do we know the leaf dimensions?<\/p>\n

\n

Yes I also agree it looks much closer to F. microcarpa<\/i>. The short roots hanging from branches and about 2 inches leaf petioles besides the shape matches more with F. microcarpa<\/i>. Last Sunday saw what I think is F. microcarpa<\/i> at Sagar upvan in Mumbai which also matches with this\u00a0tree.<\/p>\n

Any chance of it beind Ficus concinna<\/i> or is sub spp?<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Could be Ficus\u00a0concinna<\/i>. I never seen it before, however in Bangladesh it (if\u00a0Ficus\u00a0concinna<\/i>) has not been reported\u00a0more than 100 years. However, I have found 2 big and one small tree of this species and observed epiphytic characteristics.\u00a0Please fine more image.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

6 images.<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
Request you to kindly check for these specific characters which should be present in Ficus concinna<\/i> var.subsillis <\/i>(that is found in Meghalaya); can see a few of these characters in the photographs but others need to be chkd in the specimen :
\n1. Leaves alternate – True
\n2. Leaves entire – True <\/b>
\n3. Leaves narrowed, cuneate at base – not properly visible
\n4. Leaves 3-7 nerved at base – not properly visible
\n5. Stipules 6-10 cm long – not properly visible
\n6. Receptacle sessile – kndly verify from specimen
\n7. Receptacle not enclosed in calyptrate involucre – not properly visible
\n8. Receptacles black when ripe – not properly visible<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
Thank for your very significant remarks. I will check it out while conducting next field.<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
I think we are getting closer. However, since I am not very closely familiar with the spp, I would have to rely on the spp characters mentioned in the literature.<\/div>\n
Request you to kindly get a sample of the specimen, take close up photos of all structures. This would be very good when the spp is flowering\/ fruiting. Also you may cut the fls \/ frt and photograph those. Check for the ripe fruit characters as well.
\nIf it has not been collected in the last 100 yrs, you may think of getting it published!!<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The photographs are near to Ficus microcarpa <\/i>L.f. which shows parallel venation of leaves, sessile small figs and produce numerous aerial roots. Some times these aerial roots become trunks like Ficus benghalensis<\/i>.<\/div>\n
Need to be verified physically.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\nCan it be Ficus microcarpa<\/i> L.f.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0?<\/div>\n
\n
\n
It is a small to medium sized tree, some here and there available. mostly it will grow with some other tree or on rock. Ficus microcarpa <\/i>is a big tree and leaves and figs are smaller.\u00a0efi thread<\/a><\/div>\n
\n

I had already sent an email almost two years back for correction, FOI team had accidentally forgotten to correct.<\/span>
This is\u00a0<\/span>Ficus microcarpa\u00a0<\/i>just seen last week at Lalbagh in\u00a0<\/span>Ficus<\/i>\u00a0section.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
Sorry …! Indeed your correction was not attended to. It was sent in May 2017. \ud83d\ude42
\nWithout good closeup of leaves and fruits, the existing pictures anyway do not convey much. So I guess they should be removed.<\/div>\n
\n

Ficus microcarpa<\/i> is anyway represented at FOI.<\/div>\n

Please find attached picture of some Ficus.
\nLocation: Matheran
\nDate: Mid December 2018<\/span>
\nLeaves: Petiolate, Ovate. Apex is cuspidate, curved towards underside for leaf. Leaf base is roundish. Leaves has waxy coating which shine in sun with good reflexion. Leaves look are bit thick, leathery.
\nPhyllotaxy: Alternate, spiral.
\nFruits: Two or one fruits are seen at auxiliary position of leaves. On ripening one fruit was yellowish.
\n<\/span>Adventitious roots: Like all ficus tree, trunk has prop roots.<\/span><\/div>\n

Thanks, …, Pl. check comparative images at Ficus<\/i><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
This should be Ficus microcarpa<\/i><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
don’t\u00a0you need leaf dimensions?<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
Thanks … Compared the link Ficus<\/i><\/span><\/a> you given, but, at time, could not conclude it as Ficus microcarpa<\/i>, because attached pictures does not have such bright red leaves as in our Ficus<\/span><\/a> link.<\/div>\n
If looked carefully at attached DSCN7255_Scaled_CR.jpg, it seems red color still left into the leaves. It seems, young leaves were red and now they turned green.\u00a0As per info in few books, red colors<\/div>\n
are due to pigments to repel insects from foraging on leaves.\u00a0And in December, there are no much insects available in nature. May be reason leaves are not very brightly coloured. Please correct if going wrong.<\/div>\n
Leaf shape, venation, apex, petiole, leaf base exactly match with our Ficus<\/span><\/a> link. Fruits are arising from auxiliary position of leaves in attached pictures and in our Ficus<\/span><\/a> link.<\/div>\n
So Ficus microcarpa<\/i> is matching with attached pictures.<\/div>\n

Ficus retusa<\/a>: 4 high resolution images.
\nI wondered when I saw that there is no discussion on Ficus retusa in eflora of India. In fact,\u00a0 as per my observation, it is one of the important species in the Ficus genus\u00a0 and very\u00a0 distinct from F microcarpa but often mistook as the same. I hope you’ll agree with me .<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n

I agree with you,…<\/p>\n

\n

Yes, I agree with\u00a0you sir<\/p>\n

\n

This is\u00a0Ficus microcarpa<\/em>\u00a0L. fil., a common\u00a0Ficus\u00a0<\/em>species found in Maharashtra and used as fodder species.
\nFicus retusa<\/em>\u00a0L. is a species found in Java and South Borneo there is no natural record for this species in India.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Is Ficus microcarpa<\/em> native species in India.<\/p>\n

\n

Ficus microcarpa<\/em> and Ficus benjamina<\/em> are non native species as far as Maharashtra is concerned. These two species used only in Gardening and avenue tree plantation.
\nMany sites have\u00a0 mentioned that Ficus benjamina<\/em> is called \u0928\u093e\u0902\u0926\u0930\u0942\u0915\/ \u0928\u093e\u0902\u0926\u0930\u0942\u0916 in Marathi .
\nBut in reality Ficus retusa<\/em> is called \u0928\u093e\u0902\u0926\u0930\u0942\u0915 in Maharashtra. I have seen one specimen on a hill near Aurangabad MH. I don’t know whether it is natural or Planted.
\nI assume that photos I sent above are of\u00a0 <\/span>Ficus retusa<\/em>, a large evergreen tree with hanging roots like Ficus <\/span>benghalensis<\/em> but so strong. Please confirm its identity.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nFicus retusa\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Please confirm the ID.

\n<\/div>\n

As per Flora of Maharashtra state there is no record for naming\u00a0\u0928\u093e\u0902\u0926\u0930\u0941\u0916 to\u00a0Ficus retusa<\/em>\u00a0L., but locally and in literature\u00a0F. microcarpa\u00a0<\/i>has been described as \u0928\u093e\u0902\u0926\u0930\u0941\u0916, \u0928\u093e\u0902\u0926\u0941\u0930\u093f.
\nFicus retusa<\/em>\u00a0L. is different\u00a0species as species named “retusa” denotes retuse leaves, whereas in\u00a0F. microcarpa<\/em> has acute leaves.
\nThe link below will help in providing a satisfactory identity and details about\u00a0Ficus retusa\u00a0<\/em>L.:
\nhttps:\/\/borneoficus.info\/2020\/06\/03\/ficus-retusa-katingan-mentaya-central-kalimantan\/<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

This is\u00a0Ficus microcarpa<\/em>\u00a0L.f.<\/p>\n

\n
Thank\u00a0 you for providing me the above link.
\nI referred the link. My specimen do not match with Ficus retusa<\/em> shown on the same. But now I came to conclusion that this is neither Ficus microcarpa<\/em> nor Ficus retusa<\/em>. Please correct me if I am wrong.<\/div>\n

“No other tree in our jungles compares with gadasi for its exceptional ability to grow and prosper on bare, impossible rock.”
\n<\/span>“You are most likely to encounter gadasi growing in rocky ravines with water not too far below.”<\/span> Pradip also adds that its aerial roots are poorly developed as compared to the banyan’s.<\/span><\/div>\n

\nID REQUEST : Ficus microcarpa ?<\/a>: (Mixed thread): only one correct image as above.
\nObservation<\/span>: <\/span><\/span>26\/04\/23. Riung District, Flores, Indonesia.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Description<\/span>: All those photos have been identified as one single plant from the local guide (named\u00a0Kekas\u00a0<\/i>in local language). It seems like it’s a\u00a0Ficus\u00a0<\/i>species, maybe\u00a0Ficus microcarpa\u00a0<\/i>? But is it possible to have those kind of leaves polymorphism ? I was also thinking about\u00a0Ficus virens\u00a0<\/i>and\u00a0Ficus virgata.
\n<\/i><\/span>This is a big tree, that has yellow little fig fruit and has a sour smell. It’s a kind of like banyan species has she has a lot of roots and can grow on rocks.
\n<\/span>Habitus\u00a0<\/span>: Dry tropical forest<\/span>
\n<\/span>First ID\u00a0:\u00a0<\/span>Ficus microcarpa<\/i><\/p>\n
\n

Not sure about the ID but looks other than F. microcarpa<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n
Here are three different species as identified\u00a0<\/span>Ficus microcarpa, Ficus virgata\u00a0<\/span><\/i>and\u00a0Ficus virens<\/i>.<\/span><\/div>\n
There is no such leaf polymorphism in\u00a0Ficus microcarpa\u00a0<\/i>where so much difference can be seen.
\nFor vernacular names they differ for one or can be same for many.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n

I might think of\u00a0Ficus virens<\/i>\u00a0as it is described by the local people as a strangler fig with yellow fruit when they are mature<\/p>\n

\n

It’s looks like the pictures are of different sps.<\/p>\n

First image reflects Ficus microcarpa<\/em>.<\/div>\n
Second image is completely different from Ficus sps.<\/span><\/div>\n
Third image is of Ficus concinna<\/em>.
