I'm not sure what type of plant this is but I have it in a small bonsai form. Sorry about the picture quality as there is not much zoom on the leaf shape; it is a very small holly-shaped leaf a little larger than the size of a pencil eraser. It gets small flowers that are pinkish white . Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Klaxoner,

The bonsai tree is a Malpighia coccigera commonly called
a Singapore Holly. It is an acid loving plant that in SF often fruits small berries. It is also possible to grow indoors. Look it up on the internet.
