Can anybody identify this fig? Its leaves are wider than Nerifolia and the part (I can't remember the name) covering the new bud has a reddish-pink blush. The bark has white bumps like the Tiger but not as many. No stomata are visible. The white veining underneath is raised and doesn't quite reach the edge, instead, each one curves sideways and joins onto the one next to it giving a lacy outline. There are tiny raised white lumps all over the underside of the leaf too.

I think it's in a 10-inch pot. It's not mine but I do have a cutting.

Re: Unknown Fig
Here's a F. rubiginosa cv "Little Ruby" from the National Botanic Gardens collection.

I think [Asus] might have picked it, from what detail I can make out in that photo.
From Wikipedia, this might give some clue as to the origins of those leaves:
// A narrow leaved form with its origins somewhere north of Sydney is also seen in cultivation.[5]//
Edited to insert link that I missed in the original post.

Re: Unknown Fig
Don Deluca gave me one, well a friend of mine gave it too me and said it was from Don.. Im still confused about what really happened.
I found they don't like a full defoliation, but I could be paranoid, as it took awhile to bounce back.

Young and hostile but not stupid.
