When it comes to colour and size of figs, I think the variations are possible in some of the Ficus<\/i> species.<\/span><\/div>\n
This F. hispida<\/b> too – have seen them – about as less as 20mm dia to 40mm dia; colours too varying.<\/span><\/div>\n
There is also considerable colour variation in this species from golden yellow to medium green.<\/span>

Ficus for ID : 100511 : AK-3<\/a>:
\nTaken at Jijamata Udyan, Mumbai, Maharashtra<\/span> on the 7th of April, 2011.
\nA medium sized tree growing wild.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n

… this is Ficus hispida<\/i> (syn. Ficus oppositifolia<\/i>), the hairy fig<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Opposite leaves – YES<\/span>
\nFinely toothed margin – NO
\nMature leaves hairy especially on veins below – NO
\nTwigs hollow when younger – !!
\nFigs ribbed – YES
\n<\/span>Can anyone please clear my doubts on this!!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

… leaves of F. hispida<\/b><\/i> are not abrasive … the upper surface has minute coarse hairs, feels rough though not abrasive … lower surface too is hairy, feels comparatively softer.<\/span>
\nYou may be referring to F. exasperata<\/b><\/i> (syn. F. asperrima<\/i>), the sandpaper fig<\/b>, (tender OR) dried leaf of which can certainly cause abrasion.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Ficus hispida produces fruit also on the roots<\/b><\/u>, young saplings may show alternate leaves<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

One as a botanist should not think of flowers or fruits arising from roots. In so called stemless plants, the reduced stem elongates at the time of flowering into a scape which produces flowers.
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 In <\/span>Ficus hispida<\/i> the inflorescence (<\/span>hypanthodium<\/i>) and consequently the fruit (<\/span>fig or syconus<\/i>) arise from short branches which hang from main branches. They can’t be called as roots.

\n<\/span>http:\/\/www.efloras.org\/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=200006361<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Its just for the information of the people i quoted that the plant produces fruit on the roots too… its nothing to do anything about the botanist here, however any systematic botany student must know every character of the
\nplant..
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 i can definately differentiate the hanging branches and the roots of the plants… so please accept that F. hispida produces inflorescence on the roots too… \u00a0whoever dont know…<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Ficus semicordata<\/i>, I have seen stalks with figs coming out from the\u00a0 root on the ground. Dont know of any other species.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n

Yes I know abt stalks coming from the lower part of main trunk which is not very unsual for Ficus semicordata. But what I am talking about is the root branches IN THE GROUND, when they spread up. I have seen stalks coming from them. I was also very much surprised. I will see if I have any such picture. Otherwise, I will request Mr. .., if he can drive uptill zoological garden in Ranchi (Ormanjhi) and if the tree is still there, he would be able to send fresh pictures. Its there on the right hand side of the enterance at around 50 m from the main gate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Let us not confuse shoots\/branches with roots. About Ficus semicordata<\/i>: This if from eFlora of China ” Figs on pendulous, eventually prostrate, leafless branchlets, \u00b1 underground at maturity,”
\nhttp:\/\/www.efloras.org\/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200006371<\/span><\/a>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 And this is from eFlora of Pakistan “Hypanthodia on 5-8 mm long peduncles, borne in pairs or clusters on long usually leafless, scaly branches borne from the trunk or main leafless branches”
\n<\/span>http:\/\/www.efloras.org\/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=200006371<\/span><\/a>
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 The fruits may arise from branches or peduncles from underground branches, but as botanists we should not use term root in the same way we can’t use term root for potato tuber, Alocasia corm or Ginger rhizome.
\n<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 The point under discussion is can fruits arise directly from roots or not.
\n<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 My botany says not possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

To me it was hard to believe that it was stem. I just checked, Forest Trees of Northern Thailand just now, I would like to quote a line from there, which may explain what I might have seen… but I truely remember what I saw was not coming from the top but from below the ground and the, what I thought to be root stalk was running till the
\nbase of the main trunk.
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 “Figs clustered along slender stems which start on the trunk but droop downwards and often reach the ground, forming runners upto 1 m long, just below the surface.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

That won’t be unusual once we have known that branches may go underground and stalks arising from them bearing fruits as mentioned in eFlora of China. There is no disgreement on that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Your quoted three last lines clinch the issue.
\nIt was a really interesting discussion.
\nI am reminded of our discussion on Ranunculus hirtellus<\/i> which dragged whole night (yours) and my day in California.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

I have special interest in Ficus hence thought of answering this. Ficus hispida<\/i> is known to have opposite leaves USUALLY, not COMPULSORILY.
\n<\/b><\/u>\u00a0 \u00a0 Most of the Ficus dont have such leaves and secondly, in young condition, it’s always tough to identify a Ficus because all the keys for this genus are based on the location of figs on the plant part!!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

‘Ficus hispida<\/i> is known to have opposite leaves USUALLY, not COMPULSORILY…. ‘ None of flora quote this statement.. what ever i have seen…
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 I also have interest in many things including Ficus… and also working in one small forest area on it…
\n<\/span>in many local floras i can show you its written in description and also in keys…. that F. hispida (opp. leaves)
\n<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 young stage mean atleast 1-2 year plant…
\n<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 Now actually am confused with terminology,,,, because i thought underground branches are also a part of roots,, infact i have seen inflorescence on the butresses of F. hispida in forest areas.. please help anyone…<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

i dont go by what is written in some foreign floras,, like F. hispida<\/i> shows opposite leaves written in some book and i come across alternate leaf in Young stage of plant,, i will surely point out that difference… what i have seen in the field will surely point out whenever possible,,, i may have mistaken with some terms,, but still my question
\nremains, branches from the roots are not roots???
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 hope i have taken any foto of that part,, will search and surely upload if i get that…<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The reference which I used right now uses the word USUALLY and I added the word COMPULSORILY, because that was obvious.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As for your query, frankly, I am to some extent still on your side because I still cant imagine what I had seen on Ficus semicordata was stem only. Because as I said in above post that it was leading to the base of the main trunk very clearly as it was very thick and almost 30 % of the cylindrical stem or root whatever it was, was above ground.
\nBut the same reference justifies it differently.
\nBut I am still searching more reference to confirm.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 My reference was from Trees of Northern Thailand. If you can acquire a copy of it, then trust me you will be happy to own this. I was gifted this on one of my birthdays by one of the authors of the book, Dr.
\nAnusarnsunthorn from Chiang Mai University. One of her students, Dr. Pranee Palee is one of my very good friends and she illustrated Figs and Oaks in the book. <\/span>nhbs_…<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

\nIs this Ficus hispida<\/i>?!!
\nTaken from quite a distance…<\/p>\n

\n

looks like Ficus hispida<\/i>. Try break the tender stem and see whether the center is hollow or not? If
\nhollow most probably this is Ficus hispida<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

yes Ficus hispida<\/i>… ya the only Ficus with opposite leaf “in Maharashtra<\/span>“.. there are more species of Ficus<\/i> with opposite leaf but are exotics or outside Maharashtra.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

… me too with Ficus hispida<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\n

I too feel, it is Ficus hispida<\/i>. though one of the photos show fruit on the trunk like Ficus glomerata<\/i><\/p>\n

\n
I still feel there is some difference between the link, and the images in this thread.<\/div>\n
This one is smaller fig, and darker green color, with yellow hairs,<\/span><\/div>\n
the other one is bigger, lighter green, and colorless hairs
\n<\/span>Leaves look identical.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
When it comes to colour and size of figs, I think the variations are possible in some of the Ficus<\/i> species.
\n<\/span>Good example is Ficus racemosa<\/i>; have seen as small as 15mm dia to 30mm dia with different colours and hues depending on stage of ripening.
\n<\/span>This <\/span>F. hispida<\/i> too – have seen them – about as less as 20mm dia to 40mm dia; colours too varying.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There is also considerable colour variation in this species from golden yellow to medium green.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThis is two <\/span>wild young plants, with alternate leaves<\/span>, photographed today.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

\n

This may be Ficus hispida<\/i> (seedling stage). These alternate leaves later become opposite.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Sir, they may become opposite, may not be. <\/span>Some seedlings have opposite from the very beginning, some both (last pic attached herewith).<\/p>\n

\nThis is yet another wild tree, about 18 ft. Leaves are like those of my previous uploads (a little while ago). Photographed on 9-April-2012. In the third pic the trunk of the tree is at the extreme right side.<\/span><\/div>\n

Ficus racemosa,<\/i> perhaps. In F. hispida, <\/i>the leaves are usually opposite.<\/p>\n

Thank you sir.
\nHere are the same set of leaves but shot from another angle where it can be seen that they are opposite.
\nCan you please confirm?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

fruits are hanging on a long stalk… is that characteristic of either of these ficus trees?

\nI initially thought it to be Goolar (Ficus racemosa<\/i>) because of its fruit directly coming out of the trunk, but I am not so certain as its trunk was straight<\/span> with little distortion. The leaves were slightly toothed and the fig had a milky sap. <\/span>Please advise.

    It do look similar to the pic in link no.1\u00a0 ;but as you can see from my pics the fruits are borne on very long stalks.<\/p>\n

    \n

    I think this is Ficus hispida.
    \n<\/i>Close up pictures of leaves would have helped.
    \n<\/span>The leaves are large, broad and has a very rough surface.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n

    Sorry for not posting the close up of a leaf. It is not Ficus hispida<\/i>– what we call ‘kattathi”with the characterstic leaf you have described.<\/p>\n

    \n<\/div>\n
    \n

    Yes, Dada, I do agree very much, it is very unusual…. else our Ficus<\/i> lovers would have identified it much earlier.
    \nMy guess was sort of wild, based on a couple of points though – 1) overall appearance 2) deciduous nature 3) appearance & size of figs….. far fetched imagination no doubt …. yet found two little support – i) the usual figs can be found in IMG_8869 and ii) one photograph <\/span>    donsmaps.jpg<\/span><\/a> at the site <\/span>http:\/\/donsmaps.com\/yamcamp.html<\/span><\/a>
    \nI would be very happy to know the correct ID of this fig tree.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
    \n
    \n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    Three are at least 3 species with long drooping branches in phytoimages<\/span><\/a> and one in <\/span>plantillustrations<\/span><\/a>, of-course exotic …. please see if matches, though I have doubt for discrepancies in either leaf or in fig.<\/span><\/div>\n
    \n
    \n<\/div>\n
    \n

    please check if your plant can be – http:\/\/arbres-reunion.cirad.fr\/especes\/moraceae\/ficus_mauritiana_lam<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

    \n<\/div>\n
    \n

    Thanks a lot dear … Can be Ficus mauritiana<\/i>; this is the closest id suggestion.<\/p>\n

    \n<\/div>\n
    \n

    Please check whether the leaves are opposite or not. If it is opposite, it is Ficus hispida<\/i> and if it is alternate it is Ficus mauritiana<\/i><\/p>\n

    \n<\/div>\n
    \n

    To my understanding the chance of F. mauritiana<\/i> is remote, if not absurd, but the KEY, alternate or opposite leaves, does not hold much value. Please check Prain or Haines.<\/p>\n

    \n<\/div>\n

    Or Roxburgh too<\/p>\n

    \n

    The photographs are identified as Ficus hispida<\/i> L.f.<\/p>\n

    DSC OO12,0014 – Figs looks like Ficus variegata<\/i> Blume<\/div>\n
    But all should be verified physically for final confirmation.<\/div>\n
    \n

    It is the same plant.<\/p>\n

    \n

    I agree with …\u00a0They are different.<\/p>\n

    \n
    Images shot at same location and there was only one plant.<\/div>\n
    4 images shot at same time at 1118, 1119, 1120 and 1120 AM.<\/div>\n
    Ficus variegata<\/i> is not listed in Nepal and the plant is not a big tree but small shrub type.
    \nRemaining option is <\/span>F. hispida<\/i>.<\/span><\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    This should be\u00a0Ficus hispida<\/i> L.f. (Leaves are opposite).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Dear friends,
    \nNot sure whether just these two pictures of scandent shrub suffice to get us know ID even to genus level. The structure looks clearly like some fig (though may not be); it was quite far away and out of reach; could not get any better close up.<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n<\/div>\n
    \n

    I think its a fruiting branch of Ficus hispida<\/i>. Its the only fig in the Western Ghats which produces figs on such specialized leafless branches.<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n
    Thank you very very much\u00a0… for the clarity and ID.
    \nThe fig sure looks like it. The branch of leaves in foreground misled me … I thought it belonged to the fruiting branch !!
    \nBranch with leaves must be Calycopteris floribunda<\/i> !!<\/p>\n
