Hi all

We seem to have a winner

And that winner was.....Adansonia

Well done to you, the floor is now yours.

Oh and by the way Imberbe, sorry about asking a question with your name as the answer, but I just couldn't resist.

Well, at least I have more hair than the other Imberbe!

@ imberbe - I like you that way

Well done Adansonia

Hi all

I echo ZZ's sentiments.

I think Adansonia has gone to Punda Maria as seen on one of the other quizzes - someone else to take the lead?

Thanks ZZ

Since Adansonia is temporarily out of action I will take the lead.

Okay, here we go...

My species name refers to my preference of mountainous areas,
my leaves are dark green on the surface and grey to white at the base,
they are simple, leathery and 3-veined.
What am I?

Celtis africana commonly known as the white stinkwood??

Hi all,

I am back from Punda - had a wonderful time (much too short though!!!)

Could it be Englerophytum (Bequaertiodendron) magalismontanum - Stem-fruit ("Stamvrug" in Afrikaans)?

Hi all

Jonty1: nope incorrect answer.
Adansonia: welcome back, since only one answer has been submitted and is incorrect I am willing to withdraw my question and hand the lead over to you again I you want it. If you do want it please submit a question by tomorrow evening.

Hi Naturelover,

No it's fine - please leave your question on the forum - maybe I will get my chance to pose a question later on.

(By the way I also gave a answer in my previous post to your question- Englerophytum magalismontanum - stem-fruit).

Sorry Adansonia, I did not read your last post properly.
Nope, I am afraid your answer is incorrect.

If anyone wants any further hints just ask me and I will oblige.

I have been following this quizz - So yes please issue us with another clue.

Hi all

Sure thing Looney_lea

Ok its yellow, star-shaped flowers appear from October to January.

Does that help?
