Exhibit A : Salvia or Coleus/Plectranthus __________ ?

Exhibit B : ? (has a minty odor)

Exhibit C : Cassia or Senna

Thank you for the assistance peren! Ah, that makes sense being in that genus, I get so rusty no longer having access to a garden to grow plants and actually see them that I start to forget... On a side note, I love Plectranthus tomentosa, seems like all species with "tomentosa" are fun... Ha.

The first looks very much like something in Proteaceae but I can’t quite place it. Something in Banksia perhaps. B serrata is close but maybe not perfect, tho it is variable.

The last is too blurry for me. I’d say Acacia off hand without a better picture.

I'm not getting a clear view of a leaf, even with 3 photos. They are all at angles or blurry.

Exhibit "C" may be Acacia cultriformis - pic is a little unclear.

Yeah, that does look like a match.

The first looks herbaceous. If it's native it may not be horticulturally prevalent and familiar.

I agree with macranthos about exhibit 'A' being a banksia. I think if I could grow banksia, I'd definitely have B. baxteri. Anyways, I have a question for you Calli people. In their native range banksias are pollinated by sun birds. Do the west coast hummers handle that role over here? Just curious.

Wow, thanks for the conversations everyone!

Updates:

Exhibit A has an aromatic almost sage or dogbane odor to it and the leaves leave a waxy texture to the skin after touching them so makes me thing of Plectranthus or Salvia... which would not make it Procera or Banksia... (apologies for omitting that detail).

Thanks for the ping on ExC!

But my friends, I have more if you want to ID. :P

Having aromatic and resinous foliage is very common in plants adapted to hot dry environments. Furthermore, both Plectranthus and Salvia have opposite foliage so your plant is neither.

Things are slow so go for it. I officially resign from exhibit 'A'.

What does dogbane smell like?I've never noticed any scents eminating from them.

thanks floral, hmmm, I'll try to see if I can get a shot to show size/scale. if I had to guess, leaves are around 6-7" (15-17cm) in length. Plectranthus ornatus or caninus is a very, very strong odor... To me it smells like BO, skunk, rubber and marijuana... Ha!

Exhibit D: Probably Thevetia peruviana? (I'll get shots of ripening seed pods tomorrow)

Exhibit E:

Maybe check out Eriodictyon, possibly E. crassifolium, for Exhibit A.

gyr_falcon, you rock, dead on Eriodictyon crassifolium ID

E might be Salvia alpinia. I can't keep track of which ones have been identified, and which have not, when too many are in a single thread.

Exhibit F: A Brugmansia of some sort? Leaves are about 12-14" in length, 5" width.

Good point gyr, I am done now adding any more plants to this thread. Sorry! :(

Only need D, E and F. Thanks!
