Islander Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 I would like to know the name of this yellow blooming shrub blooming everywhere here? Would you know Cedros? You have identified some plants for me before. Or anybody else? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted November 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 I thought Guamúchil (Pithecellobium) blooms are white, no?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparks Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Guamúchil is a tree ..... maybe forsythia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 No, not forsythia. I don't know what it is but not that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Any Texans here? Maybe Huisache (Acacia), can't really tell from the photo. Huisache smells real nice, has puffy yellow flowers and a lot of spiny needles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedros Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 I should know what it is but don't. When I went shopping today I took my pruners along but I didn't find any close to the road. Tomorrow I'll find a branch. I don't think it is any of those mentioned so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 It would be helpful to have a close-up photo of the flower and the leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cedros Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 I was thinking that the plant was the one growing on the north side of the carretera west of Ajijic. I got a cutting this morning of it. The leaves look identical but the flowers are different. The ones near the carretera have much smaller petals. Where did you see that plant? Yours looks quite similar to Barkleyanthus salicifolius which is listed as occurring here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted November 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Cedros, West of Ajijic is where these photos were taken . This specific one on the road to Villa Lucerna. I have seen it in shrub and the tree form in few ditches and also on exposed eroded sites last year in Chulavista Norte Leaf close up This is how the flowers in bud look: I think you might be right: ......Jarilla(local name?) (Senecio salignus)??? Otherwise Barkleyanthus ? It certainly looks similar if not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedros Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 http://www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=BASA5 https://www.google.com.mx/search?q=barkleyanthus+salicifolius&newwindow=1&site=webhp&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiw6pH8gLbJAhUKdT4KHQaPBc0QiR4IggE&biw=1024&bih=644 http://www.conabio.gob.mx/malezasdemexico/asteraceae/senecio-salignus/fichas/ficha.htm I'll look by Villa Lucerna today.

cedros Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 The ones by Villa Lucerna are identical to the ones near me. I see now. Each flower in the clump has 4 larger petals which fall off first leaving the stamens and sepals only-making the flower look much smaller. The ones where I live (San Juan Cosala) are a bit farther ahead-without the petals. So it must be Barkleyanthus (Senecio) genus. Not sure what species. One common English name is ragwort. If you look at the 11th picture here http://jehuite.blogspot.mx/2008/04/teocintle-y-dunas.html Common Spanish name Asomiate or Jarilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparks Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Asomiate maybe but Ragwort looks like it can barely get a meter high http://elcolordelabiodiversidad1.bligoo.com.mx/azomite#.VltZQdKrTix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Although the flowers are very similar I do not believe that it is correct. All the leaves are too narrow . Look at my picture of the leaves ...they are not as narrow. Looks like I am not alone looking to ID this common tree here. Look at this article...that is the plant.... : http://www.growingontheedge.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3645&view=print Unfortunately none of the suggestions there are correct. Still searching.

cedros Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I noticed the same. If you look at pictures of Senecio salignus here; https://www.google.com.mx/search?q=Senecio+salignus&newwindow=1&site=webhp&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwivxcPM9bbJAhUEdT4KHUolCXcQ7AkIQw&biw=1024&bih=644 You will see ones with wider leaves. That is why I wondered if the genus was right but not the species or maybe it is a very variable species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Makes me wonder if it is something very local only. Thank you for trying Cedros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Liana Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Thank you all for this wonderful thread. It's informative, interesting, pictorial, and snark-free. You guys are the best. And I'll be waiting to see if you identify this tree. Bravo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
