Compare and contrast with alternative identification candidate species: _Ficus watkinsiana_ .

Looking out for figs stalks 10 mm – 20 mm long, (not short stalks less than 10 mm long in _Ficus rubiginosa_).

Looking out for rusty hairs on the undersides of fresh young leaves (not green and glabrous (hairless) on leaves undersides and uppersides in _Ficus watkinsiana_) .
