Five petal yellow flowered small tree

13 years ago

This plant is banned on the NSW north coast but not in SE Queensland which abuts it! I would appreciate an ID for it

Regards, John

Vinca, very likely Vinca minor. V major has broader leaves, would not be very frost hardy

That is exactly it she says! Got me points for figuring it out. Blew my cover. She thought I was watching Adam Sandler play himself and his twin sister and David Spade cross dress.

After a lot of thinking, I reminded me of the flowers of Wrightia antidysenterica. So I googled for some Wrightia species with yellow flowers and found W. saligna. The flowers are very similar but the leaves are way different.

No, on second thought, probably is Cassia. Dendromecon has 4 petals

Compare with Senna pendula.

Thanks very much all. I googled it (images) and senna pendula is spot on. It also travels under the name cassia pendula with common names Easter cassia (in south) and Christmas cassia (in north).

The speed with which plants are identified on this site is a credit to the skill of the members. Thanks again, John
