I wasn't familiar with this group, so I did a search. A picture of one
species looked interesting:

Dorstenia gigas

Just to be clear: I don't advocate them as bonsai. They are good as props
for science fiction movies set on other plants. They have fat warty
stems, flowers that look like starfish and explosively discharged seeds.
Lots of fun, but not as bonsai.
