Hello every one ,new member here I am delighted to be accepted into your marvelous forum.
I am in the search for the name of a common plant/tree used all over Europe and the Mediteranium. It is a popular shrub and tree used for landscaping and it is noted for the beautiful fragrance it emits.
The flowers are in clusters ,yellow in color, small. The fragrance is similar to the jasmine scent.
It's leaves are obovate 4 inches long in a palmate of 4 or 5 .
I once asked an Italian gentleman what they called it but we unfortunatly had a language barrier...
I am looking for the common or botanical name in order to find out were to purchase them.
regards Joseph

The description doesn't fit exactly, but I can think only to Pittosporum tobira for the fragrant flowers which turn yellow from white

| Sounds like the honeysuckle, which emits a wonderful fragrance. I have one with yellow flowers and the bees go crazy around it. |

Maybe it is a jasmine ! I have Jasminum humile which makes an evergreen shrub with clusters of small yellow scented flowers. It wouldn't be common here, but maybe it is on mainland Europe ?

| Isn't the shrub/small tree you are thinking of an OLEA FRAGRANS? |

| Or maybe a Mahonia? They are very fragrant and flower in the winter. Were the tough evergreen leaves arranged pinnately and the leaflets spiky? Well, lots of plants come to mind. We would need a better description or a photo. |

Hello Joseph, everyone else too, glad I discovered this forum!
I think you were looking for Spartium Junceum L., also known as Spanish broom, among other names.
Searched for it not long ago, found out it is also native to Washington, Oregon and surrounding areas.
It has fragrant pea-like yellow flowers ,grows in the mountain slopes.
I'm originally from Dalmatia, Croatia....and now, if anyone can tell me the name and the source of a NUT TREE we called KOSTELA (Costella?) I'd be grateful.
It has small,a bit larger than pea size, brown nuts.
Doubt it could grow in Louisiana, but willing to try. thank you, hvala, grazie GB |
