Ficus arguta

Ficus arguta is a name from Wallich's 1831 Numerical List of East India Company herbarium material, and it has no usable wild records. Such Wallich-list names are often unpublished or later sunk into other species. Treat any plant sold under it as an unverified tropical Asian fig and grow it on generic warm-forest conditions.

Where it grows wild

No habitat is documented. Wallich's material came mostly from the Indian subcontinent, Nepal and Burma, so this is probably a South or Southeast Asian forest fig, but that is inference.

Unknown.
