Ficus indica, Linn. Not the banyan tree. Glabrous throughout, except stipules: lvs. 4-7 in. long; nerves about 4-6 pairs, not very prominent; petiole 4-12 lines long; stipules 6-9 lines long: fr. in crowded pairs, sessile, globose, smooth, yellowish red, 4 lines thick. Trop. Asia, Malaya. K. 45.—This species is greatly confused in botanical literature with F. benghalensis, but F. indica does not take root from its branches, as does the banyan tree. In recent writings, F. indica is often given as a synonym of F. benghalensis, but the distinctions here given are those made by King, in Flora Brit. India 5:499 (1890). Tree grows 50 ft, high.
