Mast Tree
Polyalthia longifolia
The Mast Tree is an elegant tropical evergreen with a columnar canopy, native to southern India and Sri Lanka. Its long, narrow leaves with wavy margins emerge in a coppery-bronze tone and mature into a glossy dark green, cascading downward along the branches—giving it a 'weeping' appearance. In spring, it produces small, star-shaped pale green flowers for a few weeks, followed by clusters of fruits that ripen from green to dark purple, which are favored by birds. It is often confused with the true Ashoka tree (Saraca asoca), which is why it is commonly called 'False Ashoka'.
Four-leaved Allseed
Polycarpon tetraphyllum
Polycarpon tetraphyllum is a low-growing, herbaceous annual plant with branched, prostrate stems that typically reach 15-20 cm in height. The leaves are obovate, glossy, and arranged in pseudo-whorls of four (hence the name "tetraphyllum" - four-leaved). The small, white flowers, sometimes tinged with pink, are clustered in compact inflorescences at the tips of the stems, and the round seeds are tiny (0.4-0.5 mm). Native to Southern Europe, the Mediterranean region, Great Britain, the Middle East, and the Indian subcontinent, the plant has naturalized on nearly every continent. It typically grows in sandy soils in coastal areas, disturbed sites, sidewalk cracks, gardens, and vacant lots, often behaving as a weed.
Sweet Pea Bush
