Description
English: thumb|right|???In the process of going through old CC pictures here on WP, I found this picture File:DSC00219.JPG, and there is absolutely no description. The uploader didn't even edit another page (sometimes they will edit the plant or location right after uploading a picture to add it to the article). Any clues about what type of trees these are? If I could even narrow down a country that'd be a help. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 03:29, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
I think I see some Jacaranda in the valley. That would make this South America. Hesperian 03:45, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
I believe that the tree in the left foreground is a Meliaceae, and I think it's big-leaf mahogany - Swietenia macrophylla. The tree in the lower centre with dark leaves and a little pale green flushing to the top also looks like mahogany to me. The tree on the right edge of the image is probably mahogany as well. Unfortunately, both mahogany and Jacaranda are commonly used in reforestation and agroforestry.
There's a solitary palm to the left of centre that's probably a coconut. Not much use. The palms to the lower right, behind the (?)Jacaranda might be Euterpe. Like the others, this suggests Neotropics. There's some cleared land to the centre right. Adjacent to it are some bananas (again, that could be anywhere in the tropics) and in front of them a stand of palms. They could be coconuts, but there's something about the way the upward-pointing leaves bend that suggest they're something else. Attalea comes to mind, but I really don't know.
The red-flowered plant in the right extreme foreground is a Rubiaceae. But we already know "humid tropics". Guettarda (talk) 04:17, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
If the tree in the extreme foreground, top left, has trifoliate compound leaves, I'm going to call it Erythrina. Guettarda (talk) 04:21, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
There's got a second image, but it's been deleted: File:DSC00204.JPG. Mostly bananas and coconut trees in that one. Guettarda (talk) 03:57, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Better link, if you're an admin [1] Guettarda (talk) 04:22, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the help, I'm going to copy this conversation to the image description page. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 05:32, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
