Ficus- 240417CSS-1 : 5 posts by 2 authors. 5 images. I have seen a ficus tree in Peddamandyam mandal, Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh. Please find attached the pictures. Unkonwn -1 Would this be ficus mollis? http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Soft%20Fig.html) All photographs are confirmed as Ficus mollis Vahl Ficus mollis Vahl Is it Ficus druacea (Mysore Fig) studded in the Bhongir fort, AP. Pictures taken on 6/12/08. Yes ..., I believe it to be Ficus drupacea (stressing on its typical leaf shape) (I assume there is a spelling error, and that must have been inadvertently copy/pasted in all instances ). If you have taken the pic in Bhongir fort then it is definitely not F.drupacea! The leaf is not clear in the pic. Most probably it may be F.mollis. I found these pictures of Ficus mollis at http://www.cefe.cnrs.fr/coev/photos/Flore%20Inde/mollis10.jpg & Ficus drupacea at http://www.cefe.cnrs.fr/coev/photos/Flore%20Inde/drupacea1.jpg & http://www.figweb.org/Ficus/Subgenus_Urostigma/Section_Urostigma/Subsection_Conosycea/index.htm From the above two, I think my species is Ficus mollis.
here are another 2 images of Ficus mollis.
