    Greetings to the gardening community.

    Please help me to identify the various plants in this thread. Thanks.

    This is plant #1. Please respond with the corresponding number.

    Amazingly, the plant developed in the last days a long long long branch going upwards straight.

    I know it's a member of the aloe vera family. But which one?

    I believe, this two different plants are both members of the Cucurbitaceae family, but that family has many members. The shape of the leafs is different from those Cucurbiteae I know the common names of.

    Hi Marley,
    You'll have to have the right book out as, from my seafaring days, I think that the location given is Jamaica :hehe:

    But I have to admit, that some of the plants might have a South African origin. I planted some of these South African seeds (I received them free of cost through the International Seed Exchange - ISE) in the soil, but totally forgot to add the proper labels. So, some might be South African plants, some might be Jamaican plants. Some seeds I got from fruits or vegetables in the supermarket (the Cucurbiteae).

    The question remaining is, to separate undesired Jamaican weed from South African plants (1 to 5), and to find out the exact genus and type of the plants (6 to 8).

    strongylodon, thanks a lot for your help!

    Don't mind my different name, but "SvenLittkowski" is "Hirnsausen". I had two accounts and finally shut down the one of them. "SvenLittkowski" remains.

    However, I still need help with all the other plants. Who can assist?

    Hi Sven.. I have my big book out, but it is not an easy task.. I think..
    #8 might be.. 1st.. Cerasee Momordica charantia (pronounced "surcey") Jamaicans make a tea from it.. The 2nd one might be.. Cockroach Poison (Solanum capsicoides syn. S. ciliatum) or the Jamaican name of Duppy Tomato..

    It is all poisonous but Jamaicans once valued them for their marble sized fruits that they would place around the home to discourage cockroaches.. Hence the name..! :thumb:
