| Hello everyone, I have a few plants within an urban ecosystem that need identifying. I have a project focusing on these species and protecting this unique environment. The largest species has been the hardest to identify. It seems like its an heptapleurum or something similar but I don't think it is. Other species I have identified are Parietaria Judaica, Foeniculum and Taraxacum. Thanks in advance!     |

| I am confused. Are all 3 images from the same plant? Please can you add very clear close ups...of just one shrub. Details of any flowers/fruits/berries is always helpful. Not of these are Schefflera/heptapleurum as far as I can see. Attention: start a new thread for each plant that you need identified! |

Silversurfer said:I am confused. Hello Silversurfer, Thanks for your reply. This is my first post and I am new to this, sorry If I caused confusion. I am trying to identify the large shrub. The first images I am trying to show the trunks of this species. They seem to have a strappy and open form. Trunks can get fairly thick though. The second image I am showing that these small trees can grow almost anywhere, in cracks and crevices. There is also a close up of that specimen with small seeds. The third image shows its bushier habit and a close up of the foliage. They are the best I can provide as the site has been developed and unfortunately the species no longer exist there. Thanks again. |

| I don't recognize anything you've provided so far, but - I agree with the sentiments provided by Silversurfer: provide more information! Despite the site being developed, and original plants destroyed, your description tells me that this species likely exists in a lot of other places from which you can provide more of the information that has been requested. Show the whole plant(s). Show more details, including closeups of individual leaves, the leaf arrangement along stems, flowers, fruits, buds, leaf scars, bud scars, lenticels, and every other kind of botanical ID feature that can be photographed. Thank you in advance! I have only had the pleasure of visiting your country once before, and I only traveled around and was amazed by the botanical wonders found in Queensland. I hope to visit Australia again, because as you know, there are limitless experiences to be had - botanically and otherwise. John |

Also, no "implant" photos. You are not restricted to the number of photos you can post so please take advantage of that.

| Hello everyone, Thanks for your responses. Unfortunately we are a bit limited. I can't seem to find this plant anywhere. Luckily I took some plant matter and kept it in Jars. I do not have the jars but I have photos of them. Maybe this will help to show more detail. Cheers!      |

| Hey everyone, Just a few more things. From closer inspection of the jar, the specimen seems to have had yellow flowers (I think) that look similar to a Correa. Leaves seem to be elliptic in shape with an entire margin. Possibly Pinnate venation. Fruits (depicted in second image in first post) are round and I think dark yellow. Hope that helps. |

ViburnumValley said: Sorry but a plant squashed in a jar does not help me at all. I do not understand......Why on earth would you do that???? In future please look for more of this shrub and do as Viburnum Valley suggests. |

Silversurfer said: Hi again Silversurfer, I'm not sure what you mean? These photos were taken about 5 years ago and I do not have contact with this species anymore. This wasn't yesterday. Why wouldn't I have take a portion of a plant I was trying to identify? If I could find this now we would have been able to identify it surely. These images should help more because it shows a closer detail of the foliage and also some flowers. There are images showing flowers, fruits, foliage and 2 different whole plant structures/habits. I think the main issues are: 1. Photos are old and not 100% clear. 2. Cannot find this species again. 3. This isn't a very common species that people plant in their gardens, making it hard to identify. Looks like no one can help to identify this plant.  |
