Ficus for ID : 280611 : AK-1: 7 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (2) Taken at Garden of Five Senses, Delhi on the 4th of Nov, 2008. A medium sized tree. FICUS PANDA What is correct name for Ficus panda? Leaves seem to be obtuse therefore it should be Ficus curtipes Corner (=F. obtusifolia). Ficus panda is a nursery or floricultural term for Ficus benjamina usually used for hedges and boundary plantation.
A Ficus for i.d. : 8 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (2) A Ficus growing on a Dillenia tree. Bhalukpong, Assam. For i.d. Isn't Calophyllum inophyllum the fruits of C. inophyllum look different ... http://www.flickr.com/search/?s=int&z=m&w=91314344@N00&q=calophyllum+inophyllum&m=text I think you are right. What about Ficus microcarpa (?) as per link: http://www.hear.org/starr/plants/images/species/?q=ficus+microcarpa If you just consider the leaves, well they are like C. inophyllum. But these are real figs, and the plant grew on the Dillenia tree, climbing. It is likely a Ficus. By any chance could it be strangler fig then, going purley by the description "the plant grew on the Dillenia tree,climbing. It is likely a Ficus." Leaves appear to be obtuse, it should be Ficus curtipes Corner. The photographs identified as Ficus curtipes (=F. obtusifolia).
unid Fig-TQ03 : 14 posts by 5 authors. Attachments (3) Looks like a fig tree. Small (maybe young) tree, cultivated Leaves leathery, shining, obovate, rounded tip. Photographed on 2nd Sept 2010 Location Delhi (Garden of Five Senses) Foliage looks too big to be F. microcarpa or F. microcarpa 'Green Gem', but too small and wrong shape to be F. elastica, F. macrophylla, or F. columnaris. Looks close (shape, size) to F. rubiginosa, but foliage lacks any tomentum, is too concolorous, and has fruit of the wrong color. That's about all I've got. I'm pretty certain it is one that I haven't seen before. Eliminating a few candidates is a significant step. I think F. microcarpa Here are mine from Delhi. Attachments (2) How about Ficus nitida? Thanks ..., Seems to be the right ID! Compare with this image http://genzor.net/osc/images/Ficus%20nitida.jpg Only that Ficus nitida is a synonym of Ficus benjamina var. benjamina, according to GRIN. The synonym was confusing to me Ficus nitida Thunb. = Ficus benjamina L. var. benjamina Ficus nitida auct non Blume = Ficus microcarpa I checked with the drawing in Flora of Pakistan http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=50208&flora_id=2 and the leaves and fruit agree quite well with my plant. Particularly the veins near the leaf base is the same. However, my plant still looks different from those in ... pictures and also from the images of Ficus microcarpa on FOI http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Laurel%20Fig.html By the way, there exists a ficus microcarpa var. nitida too. Clarifications are welcome. Another small point. The leaf illustrations of Ficus microcarpa at Flora of Pakistan and Flora of North America don't agree very well http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=50208&flora_id=2 http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=40846&flora_id=1 Yes Tabish sir, I realised just now that there are many issues in synonymy. I tend to rely more on IPNI than on GRIN. There are three nitidas Ficus nitida Thunb. Ficus 10. 1786 [21 Dec 1786] THIS IS VALID Ficus nitida Miq. London J. Bot. 6: 582. 1847 ; nom. inval. (Valid name is Ficus straita) Ficus nitida B.Heyne ex Roth Nov. Pl. Sp. 387. 1821 [Apr 1821] ; nom. inval. (Valid name is Urostigma nitidum) Similarly there are three benjaminas :P Ficus benjamina L. -- Mant. Pl. 129. (1767) (This should be valid) and so should be Ficus benjamina var. benjamina Ficus benjamina Willd. -- Sp. Pl., ed. 4 [Willdenow] 4(2): 1143. (1806) Ficus benjamina Wall. -- Numer. List [Wallich] n. 4503. (1830) Then there are four microcarpas: Ficus microcarpa L.f. -- Suppl. Pl. 442. (1782) (this is Valid) Ficus microcarpa Blume -- Bijdr. Fl. Ned. Ind. 9: 442. (1825) Ficus microcarpa Vahl -- Enum. Pl. [Vahl] ii. 188. 1805 Ficus microcarpa Hort. Berol. ex Walp. -- Ann. Bot. Syst. (Walpers) i. 677. I remember one of the members was interested in Ficus, we can just poke him to get involved. Hemant Tripathi. I am forwarding this to him to comment if he has any, and another friend of mine in Thailand, who has interest in Ficus and Oaks. ....., Can you please check this plant and give your comments. ..., you may pass this on to ... Hope he is doing fine. Should be Ficus curtipes Corner (F. obtusifolia Roxb. - Illegitimate) Thanks ...! That is the right ID I think!
