| we have a project and it's about trying to find out what the common name and the scientific name of the plant is. i'm part of a group but sadly, my group mates don't seem to care. now, i'm alone in this and our project is due this week. No matter how much I try, I can't seem to find the names of these plants. I've already been asking people if they know, but I have no such luck yet. Please guys, I really need your help. What do you think are the names of these two plants?

| the one with the thorns is Euphorbia milli var. spledens, or commonly crown of thorns.
I am clueless on tree.
ps: I love tree too but not nearly as much as physically attractive women.
The tree could also be Ficus sp. or Eucalyptus?

| now the leaves look like Cinnamomum cassia, or Indian bay leaves. I'm not sure on this one. |

| you might not have recognized a scent anyway, but some 'leave' a distinct memory like a bay, for instance, try 'googling' for pics that vngarden suggested of those trees - or of 'willow leafed' trees (bushes) and see if anything looks familiar. GTG to work now, but I will check back in later. |

| I think you gave the best option. That looks similar to the images provided Ilovetree. |

| I disagree. I do not think that could be an Agonis; maybe Agathis, but even that seems less likely than a Eucalyptus, (or one of those things we have called Eucalyptus forever). |
