Exactly where was Siddhartha Gautama sitting when he attained Enlightenment?

Under a Bo tree.

Several sources give several names of trees; bodhi (bo) tree (Ficus religiousa) and banyan were the two most mentioned.

Once again, diligent research by the crack AnswerPool Research Department has uncovered the truth.
The bodhi tree also known as banyan, bo, or pipal tree, comes from the Asiatic fig. It starts it's life as an epiphyte and can grow to one-hundred feet. It's big roots sustain the long extended branches. The bodhi tree continually rejuvenates by rooting it's branches in the soil. To some, the bodhi trees are believed to be immortal. One sacred bodhi tree in Sri Lanka is thought to be 2200 years old. The continuous life of these trees is what might have gave them their sacred symbolism in the Buddhist religion. - www.uwec.edu
