Hi, everybody
I'm translating a novel, set in South Africa, and I found those
plants, but I couldn't find the Italian equivalent of their names.
Is there anybody who can help me? Is there a website where I can go
and solve my doubts?

stinkwood = Pigeo africano?
yellowwood = (Podocarpus latifolius)
knob thorn = ?
camel thorn = ?
sweet thorn = ?
sugar bush = ?
arum = ?

There isn't any reason to suppose that there are standard Italian
names for most of these if they are South African plants is there? the
only one I can help you with is Arum, this is the generic name for a group
of plants which must occur in Italy - there is even an Arum italicum! Look
this up in any Italian botany book you have to hand.
