I think it is wild in the river side in a village .

Villagers won't bother to plant a single tree

I guess .

Thank you.

Dear Dr. Sudhakar,

1.  Ficus middletonii Chantaras. is not listed in Nepal 

and I could not find any synonym for it matching .

2. Ficus virens elevation 80-200 mt. only and not matching.

       SK609 02 JUL-2017:ID

3. Is Ficus virens  and Ficus lacor same?

Appreciate your guidelines please!

Thank you.

Ficus virens elevation 8-1400m ( Acccordign to the latest book by KKS)

Thank you.

[J.M. Garg]

I think this elevation should resolve your doubts for Ficus virens (as per distribution).

I guess so Mr. Garg. 

Hope for some opinions from Dr. Sudhakar !

I'm extremely sorry. How could I have missed the tuberculated spur, which is so small on the new branches and sessile figs?

https://groups.google.com/g/indiantreepix/c/e1oQFmAMocc

I have narrowed it down to two species: Ficus geniculata and Ficus middletonii. The major difference is that the latter is only found in the southern parts of India and has pubescent (hairy) figs.

This plant should be Ficus geniculata var. geniculata  - receptacles sessile and glabrous

I also know that Kabro (nepali name) is for Ficus lacor.

Kind regards,
Varun
