Ficus benghalensis var. krishnae
A tree with cup like leaves. A story about this tree. Lord Krishna was very fond of butter and would even steal it. Once when he was caught by his mother, Yashoda, he tried to hide the butter by rolling it up in a leaf of this tree. Since then, the leaves of these trees have retained this shape. http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/sl...
