Gullstjerne (Gagea lutea)
Disse vokser i en stor samling i hagen til nummer 1, men også hos meg har det spredt seg et eksemplar. Blomstrer veldig tidlig – samtidig med hestehov og blåveis. I motsetning til scilla lukter disse ingentig.

Yanacocha plant 09 (Tephrosia sp?)
I only found this clutch of this species alongside the dirt road on my way back to Quito from Yanacocha. Please help me classify it – leave a comment Altitude 3400 metres.
Wild cocoa (Herrania mariae)
The fruit starts off in an upright position, and as it matures, and the weight increases, gravity will eventually win and drag it to a hanging position. This tree had no mature fruits – perhaps someone had picked them for personal consumption?
Wild cocoa (Herrania mariae)
The inflorescense of the Herrania is otherwordly beautiful and mysterious, and unlike any I have encountered. Of course there are countless beauties in the primary forest of Yasuni, but most are in the canopy. The wild cocoa has a different strategy that makes it so accessible to passers by like me – on the dark [...]
Wild mango (Grias neuberthii)
I wonder what this wild mango fruit tastes like compared to the cultivated varieties. I for one am certain the fruit and the tree itself contains properties one could only dream of in the cultivated ones. Unfortunately I don’t speak Spanish, so I was unable to ask the Añangu people what they use it for.
Wild mango (Grias neuberthii)
An incredibly fascinating flower – thick and waxy and extremely tough. This tree grows close to the creek on the grounds of the welcome center of Napo Wildlife Center (where you leave the motorized boat and Napo river behind and embark on a silent canoe trip up the creek to the lodge itself) – a [...]
Gray matplant (Tiquilia nesiotica)
The only plant species growing on these sandy volcanic slopes. When I asked for the name of this species I was very puzzled! I wondered how this plant could be used in the production of the alcoholic drink – but when you see the name in writing you quickly realize it’s nothing to do with [...]
Morning glory (Ipomoea linearifolia)
An unusual flower, resembling a Petunia. I only encountered this species on Santiago. Perhaps it’s endemic to Santiago?

Galápagos plant 01 (Cordia sp)
Looks similar to Cordia verbenacea, but the latter has ruffled betals. Please help me classify it – leave a comment
Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens)
Out on sea the temperature is balmy, but on land it’s a different matter. Close to noon, it must have been close to 40 celsius here on the slopes down to the brine water of Darwin’s Lake – scorchingly hot, despite a partly cloudy sky. Without frequent rain, the water will quickly evaporate and thus [...]
Lava cactus (Brachycereus nesioticus)
From Fernandina.

Galápagos passion flower (Passiflora foetida galapagensis)
I wonder what insects are able to digest or damage this plant which has covered itself in dense hairs and sticky ones in strategic locations and during the vulnerable growth periods.
Galápagos passion flower (Passiflora foetida galapagensis)
The sticky petals will make a very unpleasant trip for any insects wanting to eat or lay eggs on the ripening fruit.
Galápagos passion flower (Passiflora foetida galapagensis)
What an incredible shape of the sepals! It seems like a stupendous form of art – but this one is alive and stays so well into the ripening of the fruit, which is kind of unusual. For once I didn’t touch the plant, so I don’t know what the sticky substance smells like or feels [...]
Galápagos Acacia (Acacia rorudiana)
This looks almost like a different species, as the thorns are longer, and the new growth is red opposed to light green on the other photo. I don’t remember if I shot the same tree or not, but perhaps the red is due to direct exposure to the sun, while the other is in dappled [...]
Galapagos Acacia (Acacia rorudiana)
One of several subscpecies of Acacia on Galapagos.
