Name That Plant!

Plant ID if possible

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

Despite several attempt I cannot seem to post more than one photo of this plant so I have given up and just posted this one.

I believe the plant to be a Eucalypt or Corymbia. It is approx. 7 feet tall, 4 inch long and 2 inch wide leaves, mostly opposite, new growth pinkish in colour and slightly hirsute as are the new stems. Leaves have the typical Myrtaceae scent when crushed and oil glands within the leaf are isolated and numerous. No flowers or fruit to help ID. Growing in Sydney, Australia.

I was hoping someone might recognise the plant from the pic alone and provide the species name.

Will try and post additional pics if this is at all possible.

Thanks

    I can post photos...use a computer not a phone for best luck I think.

      Nope, can't even post one pic --pretty hard to get an ID here if this site won't allow the posting of PICS !!!

      I have been trying with my PC -- have posted on several other occasions with no issues yet no luck this time.

      I assume you're being patient and allowing the picture to fully upload and not closing or navigating away. Other than that, try a scaled smaller photo if above fails (I've never actually noticed a size limit myself).

      I think waiting for 20 minutes plus should give it enough time but nothing! Tried smaller file sizes - still nothing. Files are jpegs, nothing fancy or huge, beats me.

    • 7 years ago

      Yeah, I've almost never had any problem with posting images (maybe once?). But I see people having issue all the time...yes, no matter your internet speed (unless 300 baud modem) 20 minutes should suffice.

      I know you have successfully posted before and Houzz is being glitchy right now for pics (actually for a few weeks). Try reducing the size of the pic. Copying before hitting submit reduces frustration.

      Try clearing your cache & cookies then make sure you have the latest operating system. This has worked for some. Google Chrome works best with this site or Firefox.

      Ted, try accessing this forum from the list on this link. It should say gardenweb at top and then try posting your pic/pics. I'm on a phone and can post pics.

      Thanks to you all for the advice - I will give it all a another go again today.

    • 7 years ago

      Tried Chrome and Firefox to no avail I'm afraid. Cache and cookies all clear, still no go. I'll try shrinking file size even lower.

    • 7 years ago

      Tried the link Jay, even tried a different windows operating system. Tried 3 different PC'S including a laptop. Internet speed is cable broadband. Must be something to do with restrictions perculiar to my user ID. May try re-regIstering under a new user name. Can't shrink the file size much lower we'd need a microscope to view the image!

      Sorry to hear that Ted. I've never had to shrink photos. Right now all houzz will let me upload is about 3 photos at a time. Once, I did 17. And now it takes forever to post. I wish I could help.

      Thanks but no worries Jay. Like my old Tech. College teacher used to say -- "just keep pressing buttons until you get the right answer" :)

    • 7 years ago

      Please keep trying since with these Houzz glitches it is random. You might be successful today.
