What's this Plant?

While it's not an exhaustive list, I thought this might be handy for any folks looking to ID mystery fruit trees in their area. If you've got additional resources like this but for less common fruits, please share!

I recently received seeds of a strange funky fruit from a friend in the Amazon. We have no idea what it is, and Jim West can't tell from the photos that my friend sent to him either. There was a delay in getting the seeds here, but I stuck them in some soil two days ago, and they are already starting to sprout, so they seem like survivors!

Well it looked juicy, fruity, sugary to me, I did not try it. In this hot, dry, rocky landscape, this juicy wonder really sticks out.

It's all over the place here in Sardinia, makes it all look so nice.

Leaves look like this:

It's like two meters high and growing in the flower pot i use to empty the birds water dish in.

Most likely a Pouteria species, and (judging by the name) probably native to the (Ecuadorian?) Amazon, and probably bears edible fruit, but I don’t know any of that for sure. Anyone have an idea as to what it could be?

Most likely a Pouteria species, and (judging by the name) probably native to the Chocó biome of NW Ecuador and/or the Pacific coast of Colombia, and probably bears edible fruit, but I don’t know any of that for sure. Anyone have an idea as to what it could be?

Not my photo, but the photographer doesn't know what it is, and I don't either. Understory herbaceous thing.

Judging by the name, probably native to the coast of Ecuador, and probably bears edible fruit, but I don't know that for sure. Anyone have an idea as to what it could be?

I really would love to know what it is, and also I kind of want one, so let me know if there's a reason I shouldn't.

It grows in very shallow soil on top of rock faces.

It can be found in Cambodia and maybe other SE Asian countries

Hi everyone,

I took it over from a former colleague in the office and am now looking after it. Google Lens and apps like Pl@ntNet have suggested Ponytail Palm or Pandanus (but I think they only have similarities and are not exactly this plant). Does anyone recognize this plant?

Found this growing in front of someone's house, beautiful flowers but no idea what tree.

Any ideas? Google lens results weren't helpful.

Thinking elm, zelkova, or hawthorn.

Can anyone help me identify these cluster flowers that started growing in my garden? My partner and I are not certain what they are or how they got here, but they’re quite pretty. We are in climate zone 10 according to the 2023 plant hardiness zone map.

Morning y'all, anyone able to identify this "weed?" It grows very low to the ground and has tiny blue flowers. Seems to be one of the first bloomers of the year

Please ID. This plant has been emerging every season in my garden. It typically grows as a low lying herbaceous annual to 30cm high and 60cm wide.

I think it is an Alocasia amazonica ‘Ivory Coast’? Or an Alocasia Longiloba/Lowii Pink Dragon?

This grass has been growing in a few of my outdoor pots and I don't know where it came from.

These were sold to me as Senegalia roemeriana, but really don't look like any pictures I'm seeing. Any ideas?

There were a few of these plants next to each other, but not all of them had this bright purple coloration. I suppose there might be an acidic spot by the roots, but I'm not sure.

From the Netherlands

Gifted by my aunt in Spain, they both came in water. The only thing I know is the one in the left is some sort of Agave and the one in the right seems like a rootless cutting. Thanks in advance for your time
