Ficus religiosa

Ficus religiosa
Bo tree Bo" tree` (Bot.) The peepul tree; esp., the very ancient tree standing at Anurajahpoora in Ceylon, grown from a slip of the tree under which Gautama is said to have received the heavenly light and so to have become Buddha. [1913 Webster]

The sacred bo tree of the Buddhists ({Ficus religiosa}), which is planted close to every temple, and attracts almost as much veneration as the status of the god himself. . . . It differs from the banyan ({Ficus Indica}) by sending down no roots from its branches. --Tennent. [1913 Webster]
