Ficus atrovirens

Ficus atrovirens is a Schott name published by Miquel in 1867, most likely based on Brazilian material from the Austrian expedition; no wild records are attached to it. A separate use of the name by Kunth and Bouché is a synonym of the African Ficus cordata. Grow a plant sold under this name on generic warm-forest fig conditions until its identity is confirmed.
