Default Anyone know the particular species name of the famous LA ficus trees?

Anyone know the particular species name of the famous LA ficus trees
that were planted in the 50's and 60's, produced huge amounts of shade,
gobbled up all the smog, and are now outgrowing their sidewalks, causing
buckling of the concrete, and are now being gradually removed from the
city? They're in the genus Ficus; but what's the species name, the
other half of the scientific name.
