Dear pankaj ji... 'Ficus hispida is known to have opposite leaves USUALLY, not COMPULSORILY.... ' None of flora quote this statement.. what ever i have seen...
I also have interest in many things including Ficus... and also working in one small forest area on it... in many local floras i can show you its written in description and also in keys.... that F. hispida (opp. leaves) young stage mean atleast 1-2 year plant... Now actually am confused with terminology,,,, because i thought underground branches are also a part of roots,, infact i have seen inflorescence on the butresses of F. hispida in forest areas.. please help anyone... - H.S. A scientific man ought to have no wishes, no affections, - a mere heart of stone
