kadakuda Posted March 31, 2007 These are growing on someones property (lots) in Taiwan. any thoughts? They are in full sun in grassy well cared for location. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Torsten Posted March 31, 2007 hard to tell - there are so many species. T.corymbosa is a likely one though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 kadakuda Posted March 31, 2007 found this. http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flo...taxon_id=132175 once i go through and learn what the hell all those funky science words mean, i can pump out an ID....hopefully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 paradox Posted April 20, 2007 it looks alot like Voacanga africana to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 kadakuda Posted April 21, 2007 that would be nice, but it is surely not that. i am 99% positive on the genera, but the specie i do not know. the first dead give away of not being voacanga is the fruit shape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Torsten Posted April 21, 2007 definitely not voacanga. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 paradox Posted April 22, 2007 just a wild guess based on.... not much really just a kinda, somewhat, wee bit similar photo i know nothing about this genus & it's rerlatives. i'm gonna shut up now good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Vertmorpheus Posted April 23, 2007 I know bugger all about either, but the fruit on both are forming in that lobular opposite way, spreading out from central points like mutant titties.The nodal segmentation seems kind of similar, and the leaves whilst different are similar in the way that a different frangipanis have very similar leaves. The stalks bearing fruit seem to form up in fairly similar ways. Looking at the lower greener fruit in the original pic and then looking at the one para put up, if one plant mugged me theres a fair chance I'd ID the other in a lineup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 kadakuda Posted April 23, 2007 the actual fruit shape quite different. similar in appearance maybe but theya re really different. that and i have seen the plants in person so i can say with 100% certainty it is Tabernaemontana. still not positivce on specie though...one day.

0 Vertmorpheus Posted April 23, 2007 Similar in appearance but really different... that sounds like something I'd say Having actually taken time to look around, I've worked out the reason frangis sprang to mind is the whole apocynaceae thing, opposing pods should've rang some bells but I'm a lousy kind of dog.

0 kadakuda Posted April 26, 2007 that said there are something like 350-400 species in this genus, i think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
