Description
This specimen is a herbaceous plant, Plectranthus ciliatus, not typically cultivated as a bonsai. It features vibrant green, serrated leaves and delicate white, speckled flowers arranged in an upright inflorescence. If hypothetically styled as a bonsai, its natural growth habit would lend itself to an informal upright form.
