Please see my entry for February 24th..... I have worked very hard to try and id this myself. ..but I am not a botanist, just a keen amateur. I loved those green square stems so interesting
To me the globose /spherical heads of flowers on stalks remind me of a 3 shrubs/trees. Button bush ..............Cephalanthus...... ..............in Rubiaceae...however leaves always seem to be opposite. Paper mulberry.........Broussonetia......................in Moraceae.....leaves are alternate. London Plane tree ...Platanus x hispanicain .... in Platanaceae..I discounted these as they are just North hemisphere. Broussonetia so far seems to be leading in the right direction. In i naturalist I found Broussonetia kazinoki...in Ecuador. But there is very little on www about it. https://ecuador.inaturalist.org/taxa/470727-Broussonetia-kazinoki Someone in the world will surely recognise my mystery shrub/tree On Wednesday, March 9, 2022 at 11:10:06 AM UTC JM Garg wrote: > Any idea about the family? > > ---------- Forwarded message --------- > From: Plantaholic Sheila. <plantaho...@gmail.com> > Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2022 at 21:18 > Subject: [efloraofindia:415866] MYSTERY SHRUB 23rd Feb 2022...SS > To: efloraofindia <indian...@googlegroups.com> > > > [image: 001 04-04-2019 10-48-58.JPG][image: 001 04-04-2019 > 10-49-05.JPG][image: > 001 04-04-2019 10-49-10.JPG][image: 001 04-04-2019 10-49-36.JPG][image: > 001 04-04-2019 10-50-01.JPG][image: 001 04-04-2019 10-50-05.JPG]My humble > apologies. > It has been so long since I posted here I have forgotten what to do. > I saw this shrub on Isla de la Plata.
