Title: mystery dwarf shrub from W Turkey
Post by: Kees Jan on November 12, 2010, 06:19:16 PM

I'm attaching two pics of what is a mystery to me. Photographed on a graveyard in W Turkey, but it seemed to be a native species.

Thanks, that might be a possibility, although it is not not Osyris alba, the only species I know (from Crete), which has red berries. Yes, the photograph was taken on an old graveyard with many Sternbergia lutea!

Would say Jasminum fruticans, in summer rest. [without leaves]

The fruit are like the (smaller) fruit on Jasminum parkeri.
