Maybe the info I have isn't right, but I understand under
"bonkei" a
landscape on a flat pot, mostly made only with conifer. Under
"saikei"
a landscape made with combination of MANY DIFFERENT species.




I don't think the multiple species element enters into the
terminology,
Claudio. BTW
I've seen several attempts at multiple species forests, but
very few which I
would consider great specimens. I will try to keep an open
mind, however.

I think "MANY" may be overstating a bit. Landscape penjing,
however, often have a couple of species in them -- usually plants
that grow together in nature.
