Bonsai is an artistic gardening style, not a plant name.
Bonsai is a Japanese word. It can be used as a verb (cutting and training a plant), a noun (Any plant trained in this style) and an adjective (describing a plant based on shape pot and size)
but never a genus or species.
Bonsai is the human influence to miniaturize what we see and love in nature and attempt to reproduce with intense scrutiny and care for a living plant.
