Ficus gracilis

'Ficus gracilis' is not a recognised plant species. As a plant name it goes back only to an entry in Wallich's 1831 numbered catalogue, which GBIF's own record marks as 'non Ficus': the plant it referred to is not a fig at all. The same name is used, validly, for a marine fig-shell snail. Anyone with a plant labelled like this should identify it properly before choosing growing conditions.

Where it grows wild

No habitat can be given. The plant name Ficus gracilis Wall. is only a catalogue entry from Wallich's 1831 list, and GBIF's record notes that the plant is not a Ficus. The Taiwanese 'native range' GBIF attaches to the name belongs to Ficus gracilis (G.B. Sowerby I, 1825), a marine gastropod.

Not applicable. There are no wild records or elevation data for a plant under this name.
