can anyone identify this bonsai???

Okay so I recently bought this little bonsai from a supermarket so as you can expect they didn't provide any identification for it. So I'm wondering if any of you guys would know the name. Oh and also its leaves have a rough feel to them as if there are lots of tiny bumps. I don't know if that will help any. Thanks in advance I'll appreciate it so much :()

spacegirl,

Pretty sure that it is a Fukien Tea (Carmona) Read this thread for basic growing tips. Pay particular attention to the use of a a chopstick to determine when to water. Notice I said when, not how much which should always be copious.

I don't grow this species but here is a care sheet to get you started.
