Hello friends

Seen this tree in Jijamata Udyan, Mumbai in April 2015.

Had also seen this at a Plant exhibition at VJTI, Mumbai in Jan 2015. Attaching both sets of pics.

Is this Ficus maclellandii? The label at the Plant exhibition read F. binnendijkii Alii.

Requesting to please provide ID.

Thanks and regards
Alka Khare

This one , I think is what is popularly known as Ficus longifolia , though knowledgeable people say it is  wrong name , correct name is Ficus maclellandii ...I had accessed a paper which claimed to sort out this confusion, declaring them being two distinct species  , but it failed to provide clear cut differences , at least to me .

Thanks, Rakesh ji.
Let us keep it as Ficus maclellandii only for the time being, as our other posts, till we get some more clarity.
