Is it some sort of wild variety of <\/span>F. carica <\/i>………………??????<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Please use the following link for a good key for the genus Ficus in Flora of China, that can be used for Assam as well. We usually need specimen in hand for most of the characters for running the key for Ficus.

I guess one must check with all the species posted by member before putting for resurfing..
\nwhy not F. nervosa<\/em>???<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

In Ficus nervosa<\/i> the leaves are not serrated (they are entire) and in F. nervosa<\/i> the figs are developed in pairs in the leaf axis. Further the peduncle may not be this long in F. nervosa<\/i>. Sometimes the figs produced as sessile as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

surely now will check with possibility of the species, i thought its closer to F. nervosa<\/i>..
\nthanks for details.. have to look for North Indian Flora…<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Very close to\u00a0<\/span>Ficus<\/i> obscura<\/i> Blume,<\/span><\/span>\u00a0because leaves are dentate-serrate and receptacles are pedunculate and in clusters, but in this species leaf base is often\u00a0<\/span>inequilateral which is not clear from image, otherwise there may be possibilities for <\/span>Ficus<\/i> erecta<\/i> Thunb.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

For correct identification of Ficus species it requires a specimen, small branch and figs in addition to photos. One has to examine the external and internal characters of the figs. So please send the specimens for correct identification. Photos alone will not serve the purpose.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Leaf margins serrate, entire in Ficus fistulosa<\/i>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Very close to Ficus obscura<\/i> Blume, because leaves are dentate-serrate and receptacles are pedunculate and in clusters, but in this species leaf base is often inequilateral which is not clear from image, otherwise there may be possibilities for Ficus erecta<\/i> Thunb.<\/div>\n

\n

This is\u00a0Ficus fistulosa<\/i> Reinw. ex Blume,,
\nSince every flora and literature says about entire leaf margins. But in young stages leaves represent some serrations with time of maturation leaf margins become entire.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
