privet (ligustrum sp.) Explanation: a tree with oval leaves, an evergreen. This is from the site for the Roman hills parks. Link to page is below. www.romacivica.net/scuoleonline/ Finparco/saxar/piantevel.htm |

English Oak, Durmast Oak or privet Explanation: The Harraps 4 vol It/Eng Dictionary entry for ischio reads: 1. durmast oak (quercus sessiliflora) 2. English (or pedunculate) oak (quercus pedunculata, quercus robur) 3. (common) privet (Ligustrum vulgare) So it seems that both the previous responses are correct. I guess you'll have to choose between oak and privet from the context. Quercus pedunculata is the English oak, raw material of the navy and definitely a native tree in Britain!
