All this discussion of Japanese names is interesting BUT here in Florida most of what I grow does not have a Japanese equivalent. How do you say Ficus salicifolia (nerifolia), natalinsis, heteropodia, benjamina, retusa, burtt-davyi, macrophylla. microcarpa, petiolaris, etc. Billy on the Florida Space Coast Billy If you seriously want Japanese names for various Ficus species you may want to talk to bonsai growers from Okinawa, in southern Japan. I recently saw a Ficus bonsai (from Okinawa) in a recent issue of Kindai Bonsai (May, 2004, Pg. 10). It looked like it may have been a F. retusa and was called gayumaru. If you do not seriously want Japanese names for various Floridian bonsai, then I will point out that this topic dealt with finding an English 'translation' of a Japanese name, not finding a Japanese name for an English or latin name. Not everything has to be translated to another language.
