Hi! I'm from Malaysia, my country is just below Thailand. Here I found some plants and I've to know their names (also scientific names) Thank You so much ^^
Cassava, Moringa, Pachira, Arborvitae, Oyster plant, Vitex. Only giving partial names so you'll have to look up the rest of the info' yourself. Regards Chris
2nd photo, with small blue-green pinnate leaves is almost certainly Moringa oleifera "Horseradish Tree", the leaves, flowers, young fruit can be eaten and the roots have medicinal properties. http://www.b-and-t-world-seeds.com/carth.asp?species=Moringa oleifera&sref=29274 3rd photo looks like "Cheesenut", Sterculia foetida, edible seeds: http://www.b-and-t-world-seeds.com/carth.asp?species=Sterculia foetida&sref=2624 Using the newspaper for background is a good idea - if all the leaves had the same page background (or some object of known size) it would give a better idea of scale. Identifying plants just from leaves is a bit hit and miss, sometimes only the genus or Family can be guessed ! Good luck, Matthew
Number 1, with the seven-leaflet rosette, is Cassava / Yuca / Manioc / insert your local name for it here. Very tasty roots, which require some preparation in order to be edible. Number 3, with the five-leaflet rosette, could also be Ceiba pentandra or a relative. It would help us out more to see the whole plant/tree. Number 5 could be Cordyline or some funky type of Agave or Yucca.
Number 4 is a species of Platycladus. See if you can work out which . . . (not difficult, there's only one!!).
No 5 is Rhoeo or now being called Tradescantia I believe. Are you sure 4 isn't a Thuja spp? (I'm not the greatest at conifer i.d.)
Not with those erect sprays flat radially from the main stem, that's a characteristic of Platycladus. By contrast, Thuja has ± horizontal sprays at 90° to the stem. Note though that in the past, Platycladus was sometimes included in Thuja, even though they are not very closely related to each other.
Thanks for clarifying :) Humidity tends to kill off most book-leafed type conifers in our area so I've little to do with them.
(going off at a tangent from the original post!) you should be able to grow the various Libocedrus species well.
Would have to look into availability. I have seen a lot of trade lists and conifers take up the most minuscule part thereof (in our regions anyway).
