Hello, I just got this bonsai as a gift, and I have no idea what it is, it didn't say on the box so I thought I'd ask here!

Can anyone help me identify it?

Ok, thanks
Sorry, I didn't have my digigtal camera so I had to use my webcam which obviously didn't suffice. I will take a better picture when I get home (hence to my digital camera). - I don't really know what you mean by cylidrically tapered tip shoots. No, I havn't pruned it yet. I only just got it yesterday
. I am thinking maybe it is tree of a thousand stars?
Anyways, will post new pictures once I get home, hopefully I can also get a close up on a leaf too
How do you check for milky sap?

Michael,
Can you inquire at the place you purchased it? This is a species that I do not grow but check out the link below.

The Ficus that I am familiar with has pointy shoots (before they open) at the tips.I don't really know what you mean by cylidrically tapered tip shoots.
When you prune Ficus a milky sap flows from the wound that is why I asked if you pruned it.How do you check for milky sap?

Michael,
Much better pictures, particularly the closeup. I think you may be correct in your identification, although as I said this is not a species that I am personally familiar with. Try google to find pictures to compare against. Sorry I can't be of more assistance but I did fix the link above.
