1. My region Flora of Corsica

2. The strawberry tree The strawberry tree is a tree of 5 to 15 meters high. The bark is brownish grey at the base becomes reddish in the upper part. Leaves with toothed edge of a few inches in length are persistent ovals, alternate, dark green shining above, pale green below. They are rich in tannins. Greenish-white flowers, in the form of white bells hang in clusters and appear in September-October, at the same time as the fruit. The red fruit Orange at maturity is a fleshy, spherical, Berry skin rough, covered with small conical points. However, it should not be confused with Chinese Strawberry very similar but has a kernel. It is an edible fruit, without very pronounced taste, which is mature in the winter.

3. The Oxycedre Genevrier Tree up to 14 meters, but whose dimensions are usually much smaller (1 to 2 meters, sometimes less). Bark grey or reddish, rather rough. Evergreen in the form of needles. These hot and fine point needles are arranged in whorls of 3 on 6 rows. Their underside is two white stripes, allowing to distinguish with common Juniper (needles in a single white band)

4. The Hellebore of Corsica The Hellebore of Corsica is a caulescent species, which grows in thickets on slopes and in gullies. It is the largest of the hellebores, which can in favorable conditions to 1.5 m or more. Compound of three toothed leaflets serrated, clear green leaves are all cauline. The pale green flowers of 3-5 cm in diameter, whose sepals sometimes flip at the end of flowering, are placed in large terminal inflorescence. The plant typically produces an abundance of seeds, even in isolation.

5. The Laricio pine tree This conifer has a trunk straight and slender, reaching from very strong diameters up to 1.80 meters. A conical port in his young age, he takes with age a tabular form. Its silver- grey bark comes in the form of large irregular plates. Its ovoid cones are small, 4-8 cm. Its fruiting, every two to three years, is good. Its long needles, measuring 12 to 15 inches, have a green ash and are soft, curly and not spicy.

6. The Wild Mulberry Mulberry trees are medium-sized trees or shrubs. Leaves deciduous, alternate, are general shape oval, rounded or cordate at the base, pointed at the end opposite, and sometimes lobed more or less deeply. The edge of the lamina is toothed. The greenish flowers assembled in short spikes or catkins, are either male (staminate) or female (pistillate), but present on the same footing (Monoecious plant).The fruit, or BlackBerry, is composed, consisting of basic fruits which are false berries formed of an achene surrounded by a globose part deriving from the perianth.
