Many thanks Saroj ji. We can safely overrule F. rumphii - the leaf shape is that of *F. religiosa* OR *F. arnottiana*.
I wanted to know whether the posted plant could be *Ficus lacor* Buch.-Ham..which is quite close to *F, virens* but has hairy figs. My posted plant does have slightly tomentose figs, and may develop more of hairiness as it matures and ripens. Regards.
