Figs Of Bangalore – RA – Ficus lyrata – Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree:<\/a> 7 images.<\/div>\n

Fiddle-Leaf Fig<\/b>, a native of Tropical Africa<\/font>, is a large evergreen tree often reaching 40 feet in nature.<\/font> <\/font><\/div>\n
They have large shiny, fiddle-shaped (or guitar-shaped) green leaves up to 15 inches long. Interestingly, this fig can also be grown as a house-plant in a pot. It can also grow as a free-standing tree on its own, growing up to 12-15 m tall. The leaves are variable in shape, but often with a broad apex and narrow middle, resembling a fiddle; they are up to 45 cm long and 30 cm broad, though usually smaller, with a leathery texture and a wavy margin. <\/font><\/div>\n
The fruit is a green fig 2.5-3 cm diameter.<\/font><\/p>\n

Fiddle Leaf Fig<\/b> (Ficus lyrata<\/i>)
http:\/\/www.flowersofindia.net\/catalog\/slides\/Fiddle%20Leaf%20Fig.html<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Yes\u00a0… you are right.
Similar looking mature leaves also belong to Terminalia bellerica<\/i>\u00a0(incidently photograph identified at Flowers of India is not T. bellerica<\/i>, probably T. muelleri<\/i>; T. bellerica<\/i> is correctly identified at our website) and Madhuca longifolia<\/i> (Mahua), both of whom, have thinner leaves and reddish young leaves (inflorescence is much different in two; Madhuca leaves have more than ten lateral pairs of veins, T. bellerica<\/i>, only 5-6 pairs)<\/p>\n

\n

I doesn’t look obvious to me, as a visible leaf shows 6 veins only, but I will check it out in more detail. I appreciate that you bother to voice your doubts about the ID on FOI.<\/p>\n

\n

I think there is some confusion. The leaves of T. bellerica<\/i> (Baheda) look much similar to Madhuca longifolia<\/i> (Mahua), from which they can be\u00a0diiferentiated on the basis of number of veins. In Madhuca<\/i> leaves have
pointed tip, not in T. bellerica.<\/i> In both leaves are in clusters at tips of\u00a0branches, and reddish when young.
T. muelleri<\/i> looks much similar to T. arjuna<\/i> (Arjun<\/b>) with much narrower leaves narrowed at both ends. I could differentiate them only when seen in fruits. Fruits of T. muelleri<\/i> are without wings (and look similar to <\/font>T.
bellerica <\/i>-hence the confusion on Flowers of India website) whereas those of T. arjuna<\/i> are clearly winged.<\/font><\/p>\n

Leaves have resemblance to Ficus lyrata<\/i>.\u00a0The photograph is not clear.\u00a0Hence, not sure.<\/p>\n

\n

I do agree with … that the pic is not clear. Guessing it to be Barringtonia racemosa<\/i> of Lecithidaceae<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n
Are these two species Ficus lyrata<\/i> and Ficus pandurata<\/i> synonymous?<\/div>\n
According to the Plant List (theplantlist.org<\/font><\/a>) the name Ficus lyrata<\/i> has no synonyms and the name is ‘accepted’\u00a0<\/div>\n
Also the name ‘Ficus pandurata’<\/i> is accepted and it has 3 synonyms but none of them is Ficus lyrata<\/i>.<\/div>\n
Can anyone please guide me with a reference?<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Also check\u00a0Catalogue of Life<\/p>\n

Tropicos<\/font><\/a> (on which The Plant List<\/font><\/a> record is based) also agree with The Catalogue of life<\/font><\/a>.<\/div>\n
