What I understand from my taxonomy friend ( who is familiar with Ficus species ) is : "This seems to be Ficus elastica (cultivar /ornamental variety) may be from Havaii,now a days lot of manipulation is being done on this species for commercial purposes,the other near proximity species are F.craterostoma , F.cyathistipula ,F.concinna are being bred for bonsai and indoor display"

There is no doubt about this photograph to be of Ficus curtipes but presence of receptacles (figs) will help in differentiating this from Ficus ilicina an African Ficus species with similar leaf morphology and used as a bonsai in commercial plants.

Kind regards,

There is also a variety of Ficus natalensis with similar leaves, so receptacles are necessary for authentication.

We have one Ficus natalensis subsp. leprieurii (Cultivated) on our site, but it looks different.
