WDH came by my place this evening and we took a walk around my property. He was like a kid in a candy store running from one tree or plant to the other. He was rattling off names like it weren't nothing....til he got to this one.

He had a guess to what it was, but just wasn't sure. I couldn't believe he was stumped.

I looked up his guess and I think he got it right.

Danny will be covering some of the other plants on this post in the future.

We had a lot of fun visiting, looking at trees, and talking about wood in general. Even started the day off with a lumber ID test...he passed with flying colors.

Anybody know what it is?

Looks like a type of bay by the leaf, but I've never seen a flower? like that before on anything. I sure wish I could have been there. I wish mother nature would have treated you better too.

I know what it looks like, but it isn't. But, I know it's related. Seems we had this plant before to ID. I forget the name of it, but I know the name of it's cousin up here in the Noth.

SD, now that you mention it, I think you are right that we ID'd this plant before. In retrospect, I'm not sure if we positively identified the plant. I will say WDH was thinking on the same lines though.

I have to agree with that. I'm thinking seriously about flagging mine temporarily and writing the names on the flagging, til I learn what they are.

I've had to flag some of my trees, but to be able to find them again. Hardwood seedlings.

Richard and Stew,

Looks like a second visit (with flagging in tow) is in order

It is a stinking shame that y'all can't ID this plant

.

SwampDonkey · « **Reply #10 on:** September 06, 2007, 06:59:03 pm »

It sure is a stinker.

But for the flower, it looks kinda like a Paw Paw.

Radar67 · « **Reply #12 on:** September 06, 2007, 07:53:11 pm »

And we get a nibble from Florida...............though not the right one.

WDH, you are welcome here any time.

Do I smell a fishy-like odor

Don K · « **Reply #14 on:** September 06, 2007, 11:27:10 pm »

Stew told me so I can't say. I wonder if you could get any extract to make trot line bait.

Don

That may be too spicy for the quarry.

Stew

Don K · « **Reply #16 on:** September 06, 2007, 11:48:13 pm »

Actually is a very good attractant in fish soap for trotlines.

I believe that the flower in Radar67's post is a seed pod. I have many of these plants on my place here are a couple of pictures of the flower and seed pod.

Riles · « **Reply #18 on:** September 08, 2007, 08:57:11 pm »

OK, OK, Illicium floridanum, but you know, all the keys specifically call out a red petiole.

Radar67 · « **Reply #19 on:** September 08, 2007, 09:44:04 pm »

That is correct Riles. It is an Anise tree.
