Ficus retusa, also known as Ficus microcarpa var. nitida[verification needed], "Banyan Fig", Taiwan Ficus, Ginseng Ficus, or "Indian Laurel Fig", is a species of evergreen woody plant in the fig genus, native to Malaysia, Taiwan, and other Southeast and East Asian countries. The tree has small, dark green leaves which alternate up the stem and which are oval. It has a gray to reddish bark dotted with small, horizontal flecks, called lentils, and are used by woody plant species for supplementary gas exchange through the bark. It is considered one of the easiest trees to keep as a Bonsai.(center richelieu ficus bonsai)
