Hello, There is a possibility that the plant in picture is F. religiosa. F. religiosa and F.arnotiana are very difficult to differentiate until the fruits are chkd. I can say this with confidence as i have worked on germination of these Ficus species. I had consulted Dr. M. R. Almeida and he told me that it was not easy to differentiate between the two unless the fruits are studied.
