"Banyan" often specifically denotes ''Ficus benghalensis'' (the "Indian banyan"), which is the national tree of India, though the name has also been generalized to denominate all figs that share a common life cycle and used systematics, systematically in Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy to denominate the subgenus ''Ficus#Subgenus Urostigma, Urostigma''. Characteristics Like other fig species, banyans bear their fruit in the form of a structure called a "syconium".
