RE: Buckinghamia - The ivory Curl Flower.

in #buckinghamia7 years ago

Buckinghamia Celsissima

Family: Proteaceae Origin: Rain forests from Mt Spec to Cooktown

The Ivory Curl is a beautiful feature tree often seen in the backyards and found in undisturbed bushland in its native area. According to the Australian Native Plants Society, the tree is named after Richard Greenville, the Duke of Buckingham. As the tree is common enough in the wild it is not considered to be at risk; proof of its hardiness image

The tree is not really known for its fruit production, but according to Discover NATURE, the Ivory Curl does produce a small brown fruit. The fruit has a winged appearance to it, and it is not meant to be eaten by anyone, including animals image image
