Thanks Raman Ji for sharing the photographs.

I wonder why this variety has been treated as the synonym to the
typical variety and the accepted name for this taxon is F.
benghalensis L.?

http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-2809653

Couldn't find the reference too. Hope somebody will help.

Regards,
Ritesh.

My Ficus krishnae died :(...
Yes Ritesh, some believe it to be a deformed form of F. benghalensis.
Very strangely on the Plant List, for Ficus benghalensis var. krishnae
confidence level is of one star where as for Ficus krishnae its two
stars hahahaha.... what a joke...
