Thanks Vyas ji for sharing this interesting species, which has bee confused with F. religiosa on this group a number of times. There are two key features in the leaves to distinguish: Leaf base is cordate and tail at tip shorter than 2.5 cm in F. arnottiana. In F. religiosa the leaf base is rounded to slightly cuneate and tail at tip much longer, usually longer than 3 cm and contributing about one third of leaf length. The leaves may be undulate and variously thick in both, depending on age. Same may be true about prominence of veins. Of course there difference in habit, often not brought out in photographs.

Another authentic photograph of this species is uploaded by Dinesh ji on FOI

I am uploading my photograph of F. religiosa for comparison here.

Thanks Gurcharanji for uploading the picture of the leaves of Ficus religiosa which made the comparison very easy.

Hi,  Sending photographs of a few of my Pipran [Ficus arnotiana] trees for comparison.                           With regards,                             Neil Soares.     --- On Thu, 8/19/10, Pardeshi S. <satishp...@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Dr.Pardeshi,   Have looked at Renee's photographs again. Don't think it is Ficus rumphii because the base of the leaf is cordate and not truncate.                            Regards,

Neil Soares. --- On Thu, 8/19/10, Pardeshi S. <satishp...@gmail.com> wrote:

Yes Neil ji. F. rumphii is similar to F. religiosa in leaf base being truncate or rounded, although tail is 1.5-2.5 cm long like F. arnottiana. In above plants leaves are clearly cordate at base, characteristic of C. arnottiana.

Another interesting feature worth comparison is that C. religiosa has three basal veins (one midrib, two lateral), F. rumphii has 5 and R. arnottiana 7, in both latter lowermost pair is very faint.

trunk of F. religiosa is darker with reddish brown with scales peeling off where as F. rumphii is much brighter with grey or whitish colour and most often comparatively smoother.
