Ficus religiosa Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 2: 1059. 1753.

"Habitat in India." RCN: 7719.

Type not designated.

Original material: Herb. Linn. No. 1240.6 (LINN); Herb. Hermann 4: 40, No. 372 (BM); Herb. Hermann 4: 82, No. 372 (BM); [icon] in Rheede, Hort. Malab. 1: 47, t. 27. 1678; [icon] in Plukenet, Phytographia: t. 178, f. 2. 1692; Almag. Bot.: 144. 1696 - Voucher: Herb. Sloane 93: 160; 96: 33 (BM-SL).

Current name: Ficus religiosa L. (Moraceae).

Note: Although Browicz (in Rechinger, Fl. Iranica 153: 13. 1982) indicated both 1240.4 and 1240.5 (LINN) as “typus”, both collections lack the relevant Species Plantarum number (i.e. “3”) and were post-1753 additions to the herbarium, and are not original material for the name.
