Ficus amplocarpa

Ficus amplocarpa is an Indian fig named by Govindarajalu and Masilamoney in 1982, known in GBIF from only two wild records. The one climate site sits near 1,970 m, giving mild days, cool nights and a strong summer monsoon with a dry winter. With so little data, treat these targets as provisional.

Where it grows wild

Known from very few records; the measured site is montane, near 1,970 m. The sources reachable here give only its name and records; its habit (free-standing tree, shrub or hemiepiphytic strangler) was not confirmed, so conditions are built from the measured climate and what is typical for figs of this habitat.

Only one site carries an elevation, about 1,970 m.
