Hi MWP,

woody plant or herbaceous?

Post by **MWP admin** » Sun Jan 13, 2008 7:27 pm

A small tree would be the best definition, though it can be also described as a large shrub.

Here is a whole branch!

I "may" be able to tell you where it is growing, but that's about it...

Family or Genus with an S? I think it is Schinus but actually not quite convinced (4 sepals?)

Post by **MWP admin** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 8:35 pm

Family starts with an S.... so not Schinus

Monoecious or dioecious ?

Ornamental or naturalised species?

I missed your question

male and female flowers are borne on separate plants (dioecious) and this male one is an ornamental specimen, but the female is more ornamental (though I have not seen one in Malta yet)

Sapindaceae? or am I 'barking' up the wrong tree? lol.

Is it a Rhamnus ? g

Post by **MWP admin** » Tue Feb 05, 2008 8:43 pm

Rhamnus is Rhamniaceae, this plant is Sapindaceae !!

Time to reveal it:

Dodonaea viscosa

IL-PINE · Post by **IL-PINE** » Thu Feb 07, 2008 10:57 pm

never seen anything like it

Piny: really never seen? It is everywhere grown in Malta- usually as hedges (Maglio Garden), but rather large one are grown in Ganado Garden (right hand side of the upper entrance).
MWP: there are many many many females, producing the fruits, commonly grown between the males (in the hedges of Maglio). Interestingly, there are also shrubs with both sexes in a flower (I just remember that I had this one in an earlier quiz???)

IL-PINE · Post by **IL-PINE** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 1:37 pm

probably never bothered to identify anything like it

"The Maglio Gardens is a long and narrow strip where novices of the order were expected to exercise." Is it that near the Graneries (il-Gnien ta' Hdejn il-Fossos) ?

That's it, 'Il-Mall' in Maltese.
