Plant Name Description Photo

African Fern

Pine Tree

(Afrocarpus

Falcatus)

This is an evergreen conifer often growing up to about 45

meters tall, but known to reach 60 m.[3] At higher elevations and

in exposed, coastal habitat it rarely exceeds 25 m tall.[1] The

trunk can be 2 to 3 m wide, and is gray-brown to reddish. It is

smooth and ridged on young stems, but increasingly flaky on

older trunks.[5] The leaves are arranged in spirals on the

branches.

African Tulip

Tree Spathodea is a monotypic genus in the flowering plant family

Bignoniaceae. The single species it contains, Spathodea

campanulata, is commonly known as the African tuliptree,

fountain tree, pichkari or Nandi flame. The tree grows

between 7–25 m tall and is native to tropical dry forests of

Africa.

Blue Gum

(Eucalyptus

Globulus)

Blue gum is one of the most extensively planted eucalypts. Its

rapid growth and adaptability to a range of conditions is

responsible for its popularity. It is especially well-suited to

countries with a Mediterranean-type climate, but also grows

well in high altitudes in the tropics. They are about 6 to 15 cm

long.

Brazilian

Pepper

Brazilian peppertree is a sprawling shrub or small tree, with a

shallow root system, reaching a height of 7–10 m. The

branches can be upright, reclining, or nearly vine-like, all on the

same plant. Its plastic morphology allows it to thrive in all kinds

of ecosystems: from dunes to swamps, where it grows as a

semiaquatic plant.

Brisbane Box

Tree It is considered useful as a street tree, due to its disease and

pest resilience, its high tolerance for smog, drought and poor

drainage, and the fact that it needs only moderate-to-light

upkeep.[4] It often requires lopping to accommodate overhead

power lines, but survives pruning quite well.[5] It has a denser

foliage and hence provides more shade than eucalypts, and is

considered safer than eucalypts because it rarely sheds limbs.

Carrotwood

Tree

(Cupaniopsis anacardioides)

Cupaniopsis anacardioides is a monoecious,

evergreen tree that grows to 10 m tall in Australia, and

similarly in the USA. It has a rounded canopy with dense

foliage. It is called carrotwood because the inner bark and

young tap root often appear orange.

Chinese Elm A small to medium deciduous, semi-deciduous tree growing to

10–18 m tall and 15–20 m wide with a slender trunk and crown.

The leathery, lustrous green single-toothed leaves are small,

2–5 cm long by 1–3 cm broad, and often retained as late as

December or even January in Europe and North America.

The apetalous wind-pollinated perfect flowers are produced in

early autumn, small and inconspicuous.

Crepe Myrtles

Tree Crepe myrtles are chiefly known for their colorful and long-

lasting flowers which occur in summer. Most species

of Lagerstroemia have sinewy, fluted stems and branches with

a mottled appearance that arises from having bark that sheds

throughout the year. The leaves are opposite and simple, with

entire margins, and vary from 5–20 cm.

Cycad Palm This very symmetrical plant supports a crown of shiny, dark

green leaves on a thick shaggy trunk that is typically about

20 cm in diameter, sometimes wider. The trunk is very low to

subterranean in young plants, but lengthens above ground with

age. It can grow into very old specimens with 6–7 m of trunk;

however, the plant is very slow-growing and requires about 50–

100 years to achieve this height.

Giant Yucca

Although it can grow up to 9 m in height, with a spread to

4.5 m, it is usually less than 6 m in height. It may have a thick,

single trunk or be multitrunked resulting from a thickened,

inflated, trunk-like lower base similar to an elephant's foot. The

leaves are strap-like, spineless and up to 1.2 m in length.

Gold

Medallion Tree

(Cassia

Leptophylla)

Cassia leptophylla is a tropical tree species in the

genus Cassia, which is indigenous to Brazil. It is named gold

medallion tree and has yellow flowers that bloom intermittently

throughout the year, spawning seedpods that are square in

cross section and rattle festively. Recognized by its thin

green foliage with glossy green pinnate leaflets. The fruit is a

long thin seedpod with four sides.

Goldenrain

Tree

(Koelreuteria

Paniculata)

The goldenraintree lends grace and charm to the landscape

throughout the entire year—rare yellow tree blossoms in the

late spring and summer, graceful paper lanterns dangling from

the branches in autumn and winter. But this tree is more than

just looks. Goldenraintrees are hardy, thriving in the tough

urban environment and an astonishingly wide range of soil

conditions.

Indian

Hawthorn Indian hawthorn is an evergreen, so the dark green, leathery

foliage remains on the branches all year, taking on a

purplish color in winter. The shrub survives winters in mild

climates and is rated for USDA plant hardiness zones 8

through 11.

Japenese

Maple

(Acer

Palmatum)

Acer palmatum is a deciduous shrub or small tree reaching

heights of 6 to 10 m, rarely 16 metres, often growing as an

understory plant in shady woodlands. It may have multiple

trunks joining close to the ground. The leaves are 4–12 cm long

and wide, palmately lobed with five, seven, or nine acutely

pointed lobes. The flowers are produced in small cymes, the

individual flowers with five red or purple sepals and five whitish

petals.

Magnolia Tree

(Royal Star) Magnificent flowering plants featuring blossoms in white,

pink, red, purple, or yellow. Magnolia trees are diverse in

leaf shape and plant form, and they include both

evergreen and deciduous sorts.

Olive Tree

(Olea

Europaea)

The olive tree is an evergreen tree or shrub native to

the Mediterranean, Asia, and Africa. It is short and squat, and

rarely exceeds 8–15 m (26–49 ft) in height. The olive's fruit,

also called the olive, is of major agricultural importance in the

Mediterranean region as the source of olive oil; it is one of the

core ingredients in Mediterranean cuisine. The tree and its fruit

give their name to the plant family.

Palo Verde

Tree This gorgeous, thornless hybrid makes a fine, upright shade

tree. Large yellow blossoms give a dazzling display of color in

the spring, lasting longer than any other in the species. May re-

bloom in summer if given supplemental water. After the foliage

falls, the trunk and stems remain green, providing year-round

interest. Produces very few seedpods.

Podocarpus Icee Glue

Fountain

Grass, Green Fountain grass is an attractive perennial grass densely clumped growth. Blooming of its foxtail-looking flowers generally takes place from late summer through the fall. The small flowers of fountain grass are tan, pink or purple. During fall and throughout winter, this plant will also reward gardeners with spectacular foliage displays.

Fountain

Grass, Purple

and Red

While purple fountain grass is known as a perennial, it is

actually considered a tender perennial. This ornamental

grass cannot survive cold winters and is hardy only in USDA

Plant Hardiness Zones 9 and warmer. Therefore, it is

important that this be a consideration prior to planting purple

fountain grass, as the likelihood of its return each year in

zones 6 or lower is slim to none.

Gardenia The gardenia is an evergreen flowering plant that grows as a

compact shrub. The plant is native to China. Gardenias are

infamous for being difficult to care for and force into bloom.

Many hopeful gardenia owners find that the flower buds drop

off within days of bringing the plant home. The plant blooms

and thrives if it receives proper care.

Geranium Brilliant carmine-rose blooms stand out against the rich green,

deeply lobed foliage. Blooms continuously from late spring

COMMITTEE ACTION REQUEST

TO: ADR COMMITTEE

FROM: LIBRARY SUPERVISOR

SUBJECT: LIBRARY - DONOR WALL (VM)

DATE: JANUARY 30, 2018

CC: FILE

The Library Department recommends replacing the old donor block wall with an expandable wall plaque or tree. The current donor wall is a safety concern, with blocks becoming detached and unstable. In addition, some of the donor names have faded beyond recognition. Replacement with a newer option, would allow the Library to appropriately honor past and future donors.

At its regularly scheduled meeting on February 7, 2018, the Recreation Committee requested the Architectural Design and Review Committee (ADRC), review the donor plaque options for compliance with aesthetic standards.

I move to request the ADR Committee review the donor plaque or tree options.
