澳洲蒲桃类

By Ouyang Yu


 这个不是桉树，而是另一类常见的澳洲本地树种。

从你这张照片看，特征很清楚：

  • 叶子较宽、椭圆形，不是细长披针形

  • 叶片质地较厚

  • 枝条偏红

  • 果实是一串串小圆球状浆果，成熟会变深色

  • 果实成大簇挂在枝头

这些特征非常符合 ——

🌳 Lilly Pilly（澳洲蒲桃类）

学名通常属于
Syzygium 属（如 Syzygium australe、Syzygium smithii 等）

它在澳洲住宅区、公园、绿篱里极其常见。

为什么不是桉树？

桉树的果实是木质蒴果（硬壳 gum nuts），而你这棵明显是柔软浆果型果实。
而且叶子形态也完全不同。

再给你几个确认点：

  • 成熟果实会变成紫色或深红色

  • 可以吃（酸甜味，有点像淡味浆果）

  • 很多鸟特别喜欢

  • 常被修剪成围篱

如果这棵树在住宅区或街道绿化带，基本就是它。

如果你愿意告诉我你在澳洲哪个州，我可以帮你判断更具体是哪一种（不同州常见品种不同）。

002, from Poetry Remarks

Mel C. Thompson Publishing, San Francisco, 2013, p. 23. [I said 'no page number' because my lower ear mark concealed it, my apologies. Then I thought: What a fantastic idea if there's no page numbers! I have a book that has no Contents although it timidly carries page numbers. See Two Hearts, Two Tongues and Rain-coloured Eyes . Wild Peony, 2002. In future, I'd make a poetry book with no Contents and no page numbers. Why make things so easy for people that they won't even bother reading?] This book is long out of print, so don't start thinking that I'm trying to promote something. I've only got one copy in the world and I'm not selling it.

LOWER DOWNS, RUBBISH AND LOW POETRY by Ouyang Yu

By Ouyang Yu
Beauty is so far from being the dominant principle of modern poetry that many of the most splendid modern works are clearly portrayals of ugliness - Friedrich Schlegel ( On the Study of Greek Poetry , 1797) Contemporary Chinese poetry has unashamedly turned from the sublime and sacred to the vulgar and profane. In April 1999 at the Panfeng Conference in Pinggu County, Beijing, poets split into two camps, the  zhishi fenzi  (intellectual) and the  minjian . 1  The poets in the intellectual camp (Wang Jiaxin, Ouyang Jianghe, Xi Chuan, Zang Di and others) were mostly well-published, anthologised, critically acclaimed, well-travelled and internationally well-connected. As university professor and poetry critic Cheng Guangwei noted, much of their poetry reflects the influences of Western literary masters such as Yeats, Rilke, Lowell, Pound, Baudelaire, Milosz, Pasternak and Brodsky. 2  The  minjian camp (Yu Jian, Yi Sha, Xu Jiang and others) critiqued these infl...

Self Publishing, a poem by Ouyang Yu

By Ouyang Yu
In a way, everything is self publishing. When you open your mouth to talk, you are self publishing because you don’t want someone else to speak for you even if he or she were the speech writer for Howard or Bush or Mao Zedong. When the rain decides to fall it is self publishing, on a regional scale, sometimes on a statewide scale. You can’t dismiss it as unworthily self publishing because it doesn’t fall on a national scale or international scale. Rivers in the world are self publishing on a daily and nightly basis. Even a little creek is self publishing when it winds its way through an industrial zone clogged with toxicity and waste. Birds never remain quiet because they don’t get paid for calling, their ways of self publishing that never is actually recorded in human history, not even in birds’ history, and when sometimes it does get recorded as in relaxation music they still don’t get paid and they still keep singing, their ways of self publishing. Some great self publish...
