The southern slope of Mount San Michele, which is gentler, sloping and sunnier than the northern slope, is \nhighly anthropised, revealing its recent formation and its previous use for agricultural purposes, as shown \nby the terraces bordered by walls. There are many weeds such as black locust and ailanthus that form an \nintricate spontaneous forest. There are also some garden plants that have spread spontaneously, such as \nthe viburnum and dwarf palm.<\/p>\n

ROBINIA<\/span>(1)<\/span> Robinia pseudo-acacia Famiglia Leguminosae<\/span><\/p>\n

The locust tree is named after Jean Robin, botanist and pharmacist to the King of France, who obtained its \nseeds from North America in 1601. In Italy it was introduced in 1750. It grows spontaneously in all soils and \nspreads quickly, so it is considered a weed that endures air pollution and has no competitive plants. Its \nwood is used as fuel; the seeds were ground together with flour during the war. The flowers, white and \nfragrant, attract bees, which produce an excellent clear acacia honey. The flowers can also be used to make \nexcellent pancakes.<\/p>\n

STEM: thick brown bark, with deep cracks.\nLEAVES: deciduous, alternate, composed of 19 soft, ellipse-shaped, light green leaves.\nFLOWERS: white, gathered in fragrant clusters, 10-20 cm long.\nFRUITS: pod-shaped, first green then brown; They hang from the branches in groups until late winter.<\/p>\n

HACKBERRY<\/b>(2)<\/sup> Celtis australis Famiglia Ulmaceae<\/b><\/p>\n

The hackberry tree is a plant of Mediterranean areas, a long-lived, spontaneous species that tolerates pollution well. The wood, which is flexible and durable, was once used for whip handles and carriage shafts.
FUSTO: tronco diritto, chioma arrotondata, corteccia liscia e grigiastra.
FOGLIE: semplici, alterne, caduche, picciolate, lanceolate, appuntite, a margine seghettato, lunghe 6-8 cm.
FIORI: ermafroditi, piccoli, verdastri, peduncolati.
FRUTTI: peduncolati, a forma di pisello, polpa molle e dolciastra di colore bruno, con nocciolo.<\/p>\n

AILANTHUS (3)<\/sup> Ailanthus altissima Famiglia Simaroubaceae<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
Introduced to Italy from China in 1760, it is resistant to pollution and drought, spreads rapidly because it produces many suckers that sprout at a distance from the tree and is therefore weedy and \ndifficult to eradicate. The white wood gives off an unpleasant smell when it burns.<\/div>\n
FUSTO: corteccia liscia da grigio-bruna a nera con <\/span>striature bianche.<\/span><\/div>\n
LEAVES: composed, from 5 to 22 pairs of oval and pointed leaflets with 1-3 large teeth on each side; color\nintense red as soon as they hatch, then dark green on the upper page and lighter on the lower one.<\/div>\n
FIORI: piccoli, verdastri, in grosse pannocchie terminali.<\/div>\n
FRUITS: samare gathered in pendulous boulders, with a seed in the center of a twisted wing; are initially colored green-yellow and red-orange when ripening.<\/div>\n

Interesting facts about the name 'Ailanthus' <\/b><\/div>\n
Ailanthus means 'tree of Paradise', or 'tree of the gods' in the language of an island in the Moluccas (Indonesia). It is also called 'sun tree' or 'touching tree', in dialect 'spuson', because of the foul smell its \nleaves give off<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
