Ficus harrisiana

Ficus harrisiana Hollick, 1899 is a fossil-leaf name from Arthur Hollick's work on Cretaceous and Tertiary floras of the northeastern United States, not a living plant. It exists only in the GBIF backbone with no wild records and is absent from Kew's checklist of living species. There is nothing to grow; a plant offered under this name is mislabelled.
