Another tree at Buskett which I can't Identify. Photos gives all details except the fresh flowers. Seems that it has spikes of very inconspicuous flowers. The fruit looks like a flock of cotton and so I named the images as the cotton tree.
Help appreciated

It's not pistaccia unfort. I double checked that I am taking photo of the leaves of the same plant. I attach a photo of inflorescence and similar leaves on same branch to remove any doubt.
JP, GH, RB... any
This is found near Wied il-Luq (right hand side if walking towards Siggiewi) some 100m before the spring water/ D. kaki. I may be wrong but there are dozens of tehm in the same spot. Trees 3-4 m high (but several young ones and middle-grown ones)
I thought its an easy one!

I've been asking this question to myself several times too! I don't make these mistakes, but I am human being!
It could be that the trees are dioceous and there are the male spikes and the fluffy fruit on the females.
Seems that I have to recheck. I await Miranda to wake up...

but there is always a but 
.
that> 
In that case that ear would need the whole tree 
Miranda is happy because we are headed for Buskett tomorrow morning (instead of today) to solve the mystery. I am very afraid to have to report "sorry the fruit belonged to another tree! "
(but I was sure that I followed the tree branch well!)
CU tomorrow

Finally, I can tell you the secret of this post.
As you correctly said, the tree where the cotton-pappus is not Pistaccia lentiscus, which had numerous catcins hanging on it (as if it where growing from it
) from a higher tree.
So, shall I say what is the name of the tree that produces such fruit (as in pic below sitting on an Ulmus leaf) or you should try to guess? (space for a mini quiz !)
The leaf is not part of the tree in question.
