Yesterday a good friend from my childhood stopped by and having just had to put his Father into an assisted living house he told me his Dad wanted to give me his bonsai collection since he could no longer care for them. Obviously I was glad to take them in and give them a new home, I think they are all ficus but one of them I am not sure of what type of ficus it may be.

These are the ones I just took in from him.

They were pretty dry and had not had light for the past couple weeks. Obviously in need of some work but I think I'll wait to next year to do any real work on them and just concentrate on letting them gain health back for the rest of the fall/winter.

This one here is the one that I am not sure of exactly what sort of ficus? it may be. Trunk and leaf shape look like ficus, but the leaf size is much smaller than the rest of the ficus or any ficus I already have. Anyone know exactly what this is?

Looks like a retusa or microcarpa to me...

Unless it's a foemina of course :)

Looks like a benjamina, probably a dwarf cultivar.
