Can't identify my bonsai!

[bobsai]

Hi can anyone please tell me what my bonsai is? I can't seem to find it anywhere... It has really distinctive tiny white four petal flowers and glossy rich green leaves with little teeth on the edges at the tips.

I don't know how to put photos up, but here's a link to them on flickr.

Any help is much appreciated. This is my first bonsai and I really want to find out about it.

Hi Norm,

I thought it might be a Fukien Tea, but the flowers have four petals and not five. Is mine a variety of Fukien Tea?

Not Fukien Tea, possible Luma appiculata (sp?).

bobsai,

Sorry I was so brief earlier.

In all honesty I'm not sure, it was just a possibility. The notched leaves strongly suggested a Fukien to me but I have only learned about them from this forum and have no personal experience with them. Can you inquire where you purchased it?

Good catch, Norm, I missed those notches! Then I looked closer and not so hastily. I noticed the pore-like things on the leaves, two distinct markers meaning, yes, it's an Ehretia (Carmona), a Fukien Tea.
