Ficus alkalina

Ficus alkalina Lesquereux, 1883 is a fossil name, not a living plant. Leo Lesquereux described it in 1883 from fossil leaves from the western United States. GBIF lists it as extinct and holds only fossil specimens, so there is nothing to collect or grow and this profile gives no cultivation targets.
