Thanks Dr. Singh-- I know that this species is rather variable, even amongst the relative few I've seen in CA and FL, USA. I grew one of these successfully from seed when I was a teenager. It is now a nice tree about 8m/25' tall by 13m/40' wide in Southern California.
Regards-- Ken. ________________________________ From: Gurcharan Singh <[email protected]> To: Kenneth Greby <[email protected]> Cc: Prashant awale <[email protected]>; indiantreepix <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, April 5, 2010 6:43:59 PM Subject: Re: [efloraofindia:31587] Peepal??050410-PKA2 Tanay and Kenneth and Prashant ji This or similar plant has already been discussed on this group. This one is F. religiosa, as explained earlier also. The easiest way to differentiate the two species is that the acuminate leaf tip in F. arnottina is scarcely longer than 2 cm and not very thin, whereas in case of f. RELIGIOSA IT IS 2.5-9 cm long and tail very slender. Secondaly the leaves of F. arnottiana are very deeply lobed, not o deeply in R. religiosa, and again the figs in F. arnottiana are stalked, sessile in F. religiosa. And interestingly if you find a Ficus which looks like Thespesia, it may be F. arnottiana. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
