My favorite plant

Today, I’m going to talk about my favorite plant. I believe that all of us, Forestry’s student, think that we must have a favorite plant but I haven’t think about it. I love too much the plants and I don’t choose one as my favorite.

This occasion, I choose Luma apiculata, commonly known as Arrayán.  

Luma apiculata belongs to the Mytaceae family, of the Angiosperm group. It is a native species of Chile which it has a wide distribution throughout country we can find it among IV – XI region, in hydrophilic forest, on the shore of lakes and water courses.

This plant is very common, it is easy recognition as Quillay and Peumo and it don’t result be very attractive for much people, but It is attractive for me. I like its white flowers with large stamens (that this is characteristics of the family). It has an orange trunk and it usually doesn’t be straight totally.  This species has a particular aroma; in fact we can recognize it for this characteristic.

So... that’s it. What about you? Do you have a favorite plant? Why this is your favorite? Tell me. 

Bye.
