ID Please - Native?

Post by dansai »

I have a few of these. Have no idea where I got them from, or if they were labelled. Last year 2 produced a very vine like growth that didn't develop many leaves. The one below is by far the tallest. I had assumed they were a type of Lilly Pilly, but now I'm not so sure. The bark is grey which lots of lenticels, at least in the older sections.

Any help is much appreciated.

Just looked up wonga wonga vine. They have compound leaves. This one has simple leaves. And only 2 of the 5 have produced this habit. :lost:

Any flowers yet?
An app gives me either a mountain orange (Melodinus suaveolens) or acerola cherry. Neither a native, obviously, but I’m usually skeptical of my plant ID app’s suggestions.
Yes, the username is misspelled: no, I can’t change it.

I've got one of these on my fence but damned if I can remember what it's called.

Maybe a Stephanotis floribunda? White pongy flowers and also produces a pod that releases seeds that have a feather like tail.
Or not? 🤷‍♂️

Steve, I hadn't thought of liana as the growth had been shrubby up to last spring. But it does make sense. I haven't seen this flower, but my assumption is it won't be Stephanotis as I grow mostly natives and have sourced many different plants from native nurseries. However I am hopeless when it comes to records
