In biotik.org *F. retusa* L.is given as a synonym of *F. microcarpa* L.f. If we read King, Talbot, Cooke as well as any number of older Floras this tree is known as *Ficus retusa.* In some more modern sources it becomes *F. microcarpa*. It is clear from descriptions that they refer to one and the same species. Can you explain the differences between the 2 which have led to a change in the name?
