Frosted Hawthorn, it means hawthorn. In Greek. (My Greek Orthodox friend just helped me out on that one!)

[TheBookworm]

Technically, I was looking for flowering thorn, but you got it right. And that's so cool!! I'm Greek Orthodox as well! Anyhow, you get to go next.

I apologize for the large size of the image.

1. Give genus and species.
2. Describe the bark.
3. What feature allows it to be especially good at surviving droughts?

Yes sir! Though "rugged" is a little vague... "furrowed into scaly plates and vertical flattened ridges" or simply "furrowed" would be more specific, and overall a more gooder answer.

The next ID is yours!
