A banyan (also banian) is a fig that starts its life as an epiphyte (a plant growing on another plant) when its seeds germinate in the cracks and crevices on a host tree (or on structures like buildings and bridges). "banyan" often refers specifically to the indian banyan (Ficus benghalensis), which is the national tree of the republic of india, though the term has been generalized to include all figs that share a characteristic life cycle, and systematically to refer to the subgenus urostigma.
