Please identify the tree whose eight photos, taken in September, are
shown he http://myturl.com/0015j

If the web-page is not accessible, please go to:
http://photos.yahoo.com/shahswim

and select the "plant-25" album.

The leaves are simply toothed and opposite. The twig has a pair of
opposite leaves, then a second pair perpendicular to the first, then a
third pair aligned as the first pair and so on. What is such an
arrangement named?

The flat, long fruit, shown in pic-2, looks somewhat like a smaller
version of green-ash fruit.


Thank you.

I am adding the newsgroup sci/bio/botany to the thread. Toad and Pam
are suggesting the tree is a Fraxinus Oxycarpa (Raywood Ash). Pictures
of Raywood Ash show the leaf-pairs in a single plane while the tree in
my photos have adjacent leaf-pairs perpendicular to each other. Please
clarify.
