I thought 'Virgata' but then decided it was far to "bushy".  Must be a very old tree.  Here's a bad shot of a slide of Virgata at Van Dusen in Vancouver.  Surely the most gaunt (or is it gauntest?) tree I've ever seen aside from a dead one. Note no laterals.

 Really clever puzzle that, Mick!
I thought Graham's guess was a good idea, it made me think that it was a possibility to be something like that.... well done Gunilla for getting right to the answer!
I expect there will be lots of us taking a REALLY close look at our commelina buds now, eh? !!  :) 8) 8)

It was Graham's guess that put me on the right track.

Well, I've grown this plant for years- I am fond of it and I still didn't guess the answer! I love the way the flowers emerge and their colour is lovely but this aspect was a new one for me..... great to learn and SEE these things!
