Multiple Species ID

Post by Lane »

G'day,

Thanks Treeman, you certainly live up to your name!

It was a job lot off this nice old lady in Bathurst who was giving it up, she obviously liked her flowering varieties!

No 2 doesn't look like ficus. New leaves emerge with a sheath called a stipule that peels off as the leaf grows. Also if you cut or break a stem you will get white milky sap.

Any last ditch efforts to help ID the last few please?

Number 2 and number 10?

I'm fairly sure number 3 is not a Privet?
