I have a request from a friend.
His sister just has brought him some wild collected seeds from Anatolia, and pictures of the mother plant, but he doesn't find what it is...
With his agreement, I come to you in case someone here would know!
This plant grows in Anatolia, in the region of the city of Sanli Urfa, in a fairly desertic area, which didn't receive any rain since 5 months, and is still green!
It is not prickly, and doesn't look like a succulent.
The temps in this part of Anatolia can be down to -20°C in winter.
Here is the plant as a whole:
And a closer shot:
The seed pod contains 4 "pockets", about the size of those of a tomato.
No blooms at this season, of course.
Someone suggested Zygophyllum, but no idea about which one...
Do you have any clue?
Thanks in advance from
Zephirine
