Ficus anamalayana

A fig from the Western Ghats of southern India, described in 2015 in the journal Rheedea and named after the Anamalai Hills. Only two wild records are available and one climate site, so these conditions are an estimate. Expect a warm, monsoon-climate plant with a hot dry spell in February–April.

Where it grows wild

No habitat description was accessible. The single measured site lies at about 540 m on the Anamalai foothills; the hills rise to over 2000 m with evergreen forest higher up, so the plant may grow in cooler, wetter forest than the site suggests.

The one climate site is at about 540 m; no record carries an elevation.
