| Hi everybody,
I thought they were podocarpus seeds but now they've starting sprouting I don't think it's a conifer anymore. Any clue? Thanks. Paul.

| Paul, did you ever find out what these are? If not can you show us what the plants look like now? Dee. |

| Hi Dee, No I still haven't discovered what they are... On the "other" site nobody knows either... Still waiting for the first true leaves to see if that gives some clue... Those strange looking cotyledons (at least they seem unusual to me) are burning my head... I can't even imagine the family. And no chance I could get a pic of the adult tree. I collected the seeds on the local botanical garden below a huge podocarpus, but seeds where from the droppings below a fruit eater bird nest (rather disgusting but could'n resist the collecting job already done!) so It could be any fruit bearing tree on the garden, and thou I know most of them, this one keeps eluding me... I can't ask the stuff of the garden either because of poor their knowledge and care they have about everything... Up to now I have been calling them "pelargonium tree" ha ha. Regards. |

| Hola Lord of the green: I was thinking in Celtis iguanaea, "tala gateador". You can see a picture of the seeds in this link http://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20q?search=Celtis+iguanaea Rgds from Bs.As. |

| Hi Dryadella. Thanks! That seems a very good candidate, just yesterday I was admiring the beautiful contorted trunk of that old tree. I'll update a final confirmation when true leaves come. Regards. |

| First true leaves have come it has some resemblance to Celtis iguanaeae.
