Archivo: Phytolacca dioica flowers

Descripción: Phytolacca dioica Phytolaccaceae Common names: * omb� (Spanish, Argentine) * belhambra (English) * bobbejaandruifboom (Afrikaans) * bella sombra ( Spanish) it is a very large tree with massive trunk (the photo below), and I was much surprised to find out it is actually not a tree but a giant evergreen herb with a soft sappy woody stem! Its multiple stems grow together forming a big nice shady tree. The Ombu native to Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. It is the only tree-like plant that lives on the Pampas.
