To clarify, NIH doesn't use Co-PI any more. It is now called co-investigator . A project can now have only one PI unless the grant is program project grant (PPG).

I am always confused about 桂. I studied Japanese language and 桂 in Japan looks and smells very different from 桂 in China. Today I take advantage of this opportunity to clarify it once and for all. (1) Osmanthus fragrans http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmanthus_fragrans (Chinese: 桂花; Japanese: 金木犀 kinmokusei; also known as Sweet Olive, Tea Olive and Fragrant Olive [as lwell as Sweet Tea Olive]); native to Asia, from the Himalaya east through southern China (Guizhou, Sichuan, Yunnan) and to Taiwan and to southern Japan; evergreen; evergreen) Note: (a) The genus name: Osmanthus (Greek osme fragrance + anthos flower) (b) Also known in Chinese mainland as 九里香, 桂花 http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%A1%82%E8%8A%B1 (section 1 变种: 金桂 银桂 丹桂 四季桂) People's Repblic of China in 1995 issued four stamps representing the four varieties (I do not think 变种 is the right translation; it may be 變異: the difference betwee the four varieties are small: flower colors etc). http://www.leffingwell.com/osmanthus.htm (c) The English Wiki page is INCORRECT in describing Japanese for Osmanthus fragrans as 金木犀. Actually in Japan: Osmanthus fragrans 木犀, which includes THREE varieties (classification according to flower colors, rather than scientifically): (i) 黄色い花: ウスギモクセイ (wisky 木犀) = 金桂; (ii) 橙色の花: 金木犀 kinmokusei = 丹桂; (iii) 白い花: 銀木犀 ginmokusei (2) A different species of the same genus: Osmanthus heterophyllus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmanthus_heterophyllus (Chinese [in Chinese mainland]: 柊树; Japanese: ヒイラギ Hiiragi; also known as Hihiragi, Holly Olive and False Holly; is a species of Osmanthus native to eastern Asia in central and southern Japan and Taiwan; evergreen; flowers are very fragrant, white, with flowering in the autumn; The variety in Taiwan is "Osmanthus heterophyllus var. bibracteatus (Hayata) P.S.Green" [ called 異葉木犀 in Taiwan] whose leaves are always entire--endemic to Taiwan ) Quote about leaves: "The leaves are opposite * * * the margin is entire or with one to four large spine-tipped teeth on each side. Spiny leaves predominate on small, young plants (an adaptation to deter browsing animals), while entire leaves predominate higher on larger mature plants out of the reach of animals. "The scientific name heterophyllus, 'different leaves,' refers to the variation in leaf shape between spiny and entire. The common name Holly Osmanthus refers to the similarity in leaf shape to that of the Holly (Ilex aquifolium), an example of convergent evolution with a common objective of deterring browsing; the two may be distinguished easily by the leaf arrangement, alternate in Ilex aquifolium and opposite in Osmanthus heterophyllus. My comment: (a) The Kanji for ヒイラギ Hiiragi is 柊. (b) 加里 ga le, 開花的異葉木犀. Nov 16, 2010 (blog). http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com /jw!PmtxokeRGBKshzm6YMGP/article?mid=8826 * entire (adj): "having the margin continuous or free from indentations entire leaf>" www.m-w.com * Again the difference between the Taiwanese variety and the other variety of the species is small: leaves of Taiwanese variety are always entire. (c) Holly Osmanthus (Osmanthus heterophyllus). Duke University. http://www.duke.edu/~cwcook/trees/oshe.html , showing spiny leaves. * Quotation 2 states that two entirely different plants Holly (Ilex aquifolium) and Fasle Holly (Osmanthus heterophyllus) look similar due to evolutionary advantage of spiny leaves to protect saplings--their fruits look very different. fruits of Osmanthus heterophyllus. North Carolina State University. http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/factsheets/shrubs/o (3) 桂 in Japan (pronounced "katsura") refers to something entirely different: Cercidiphyllum japonicum ("katsuratree" in English), native to Japan, Korea and China and which is in China called 连香树 http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%BF %9E%E9%A6%99%E6%A0%91 My comment: (a) Taiwan does not have this tree, and thus no name for it. (b) Plant Database, University of Connecticut. http://www.hort.uconn.edu/plants/c/cerjap/cerjap1.html (left panel ONLY; "Flowers open before leaves in March-April") (i) male flower http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki /Datei:Cercidiphyllum-japonicum-male.JPG (ii) female flower http://commons.wikimedia.org /wiki/File:Cercidiphyllum-japonicum-female.JPG (iii) The flowers are NOT fragrant. (4) (a) 月桂 (Laurus nobilis; in English bay Laurel, bay tree, true laurel or simply laurel; evergreen; native to the Mediterranean region; the aromatic leaves are used, fresh or dried) (b) 肉桂 (Cinnamomum, a genus of evergreen trees and shrubs belonging to the Laurel family, Lauraceae; The species of Cinnamomum have aromatic oils in their leaves and bark)
Yep. Echo was curious about the name of the tree, then Almighty sent her to the birth place to find it. There was a saying, "Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you." See, but a different door though. hehe. :)

Eureka! I finally find out what your tree--and flowers--is. (1) I consider many possibilities. One was the original posting was a hoax. I live in Boston, Massachusetts. On the assumption that late April in Boston is about late October in Sydney, Australia, I found it hard to believe that trees are so green in Sydney, let alone flowers in bloom. (In boston, leaves change color and started falling in mass about mid-October.) (a) Sydney http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney Section 2.3 Climate indicates that Sydney in April has average high 22.4 degree Celcius and average low 14.7 C. It is not terribly cold, compared to Boston in October (16.56 and 8 C, respectively). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston (b) But the definitive prrof in your favor is webcam of Sydney, which shows trees there are full of green leaves. (2) Where I live, I have not seen trees with flowers like that, in your original posting. I did stay a summer in the suburb of Cleveland, Ohio where buckeye trees are common (the nickname of Ohio is Buckeye State). (In Boston, I see only a couple of buckeye trees, on the campus of Boston University School of Medicine). But white flowers, which are not fragrant, of buckeye is not as prominent as yours. (3) I spend about hald an hour searching for white clusters of flowers on trees (as opposed to grass) in or out of Australia ("out" because I was concerned that you might actually live in US and pretend to live in Australia). After half an hour of Google, I find a plant exactly like yours. (4) The answer: I first found a closeup: Crepe Myrtle http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/flgard/msg0408024717152 The last photograph. It looks promising, because (a) a cluster of white flowers, (b) It is on a tree or shrub, (c) the leaves look similar to Osmanthus fragrans, and (d) the name myrtle suggesting its flowers are fragrant. (I reasoned: if you were making an honest mistake confusing Osmanthus frangras with something similar, the dead ringer should have frangrant flowers, too.) I then went to see the big picture: what it look like from a distance. That is the light bulb moment. I entered "crepe myrtle" in Wiki and what returned delighted me. See the thumbnail ("L indica") in the lower left corner: identical to yours. (a) Lagerstroemia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagerstroemia (commonly known as Crape myrtle or Crepe myrtle; a genus of around 50 species of deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs native to the Indian subcontinent, southeast Asia, northern Australia and parts of Oceania; The genus is named after the Swedish merchant Magnus von Lagerström, who supplied Carolus Linnaeus with plants he collected; chiefly known for their colorful and long-lasting flowers; Flowers are born in summer and autumn in panicles of crinkled flowers with a crepe-like texture) * panicle , translated as 圓錐花序 in Taiwan. Inflorescence 花序 (n: Latin in- + florescere to begin to bloom): "the mode of development and arrangement of flowers on an axis" http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/inflorescence (no. 8 of the illustration is panicle) * crape (n; alteration of French crêpe, from Latin crispus — more at CRISP ): "CREPE" (b) It turns out that L indica is 大名鼎鼎的 紫薇, which I heard of but did not know what it looked like (plant, flower, leaf etc). crepe may be "thin French pancakes" or "a type of fabric with a wrinkled surface." Crêpe (disambiguation) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cr%C3%AApe_(disambiguation) * Crepe myrtle is not related to myrtle (called 桃金孃(科) in Taiwan, and 香桃木, 番樱桃, 爱神木(桃金娘科常绿灌木) in China). Myrtaceae http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrtaceae (inlcuding myrtle) * Crepe myrtle is deciduous, while Osmanthus fragrans, evergreen. * mercergarden, A lot more about crape myrtles. Jan 25, 2010. http://mercergarden.wordpress.com/2010/01/25/138/ Quote: "gardeners who want to honor the trees’ origins must pay homage to China. That’s where our beloved crape myrtles and a host of other so-called Southern plants come from. Knowing the botanical name of crape myrtle doesn ’t help much. It’s called Lagerstroemia indica. The indica species name would suggest that crape myrtles come from India. They don’t "And the crape myrtle’s fragrance rivals the magnolia. While each magnolia flower is powerfully fragrant , the crape myrtle fragrance is light in each flower. One catches a whiff of the flowers from quite a distance, but smell an individual blossom and the fragrance is very light, with a slightly spicy character. Fragrance is the least of the crape myrtle’s assets, however. Some have little or no fragrance.
(c) But I can not rule out a close species: Lagerstroemia subcostata Koehne (called 南紫薇 in China and 九芎 in Taiwan). 南紫薇. 中国花木网. http://www.cnhm.net/plant/detail.cfm?id=15592 (d) Revisiting those criticisms that the photo in the original posting can not be Osmanthus frangrans, with one saying "不用close look的,桂花树无论怎 么看,花不可能比叶子大的(无论是单朵或者一簇) * * * 桂花是小小的一朵朵,大 多藏在叶子中间,远看顶多是大片的绿色里面有些微的星星点点." Right on. See Sophie Thomson, Fact Sheet: Scented Winter Plants. Gardening Australia, Australian Brodcasting Corp, undated. http://www.abc.net.au/gardening/stories/s1397744.htm ("Another favourite scented plant for the winter garden is Osmanthus fragrans, sweet olive or sweet osmanthus. It looks ordinary, there is nothing spectacular about the leaves, the flowers are insignificant, but believe it or not, Osmanthus fragrans smells like ripe apricots. It’s is an upright evergreen shrub to 3 or 4 metres, and should be incorporated in the garden where its perfume can be fully appreciated during the cooler weather .") Note the word "insignificant."

Wo, this is the spirit of science! Much appreciate it! I know crepe Myrtle and am pretty sure the shrub like plant in my picture is not crepe Myrtle. Not sure you saw my post afterwards, but I'm quite sure now that it is not Osmanthus fragrans, but murraya Paniculata, or orange jasmine, Chinese name 九里香。 I'm so happy I wrote this little piece though I made a mistake about the scent and the plant, but I got to know these flowers so much better now, thanks to everyone's comments, esp. yours.

A) For my own record. (1) 月橘 http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%9C%88%E6%A9%98 (Murraya paniculata; 英文名稱:Common jasmine orange、mock orange、Orange Jasmine、Orange jessamine; 花期4-9月; 月橘的花因濃郁而獨特的香味,能飄散往 遠處故而有七里香、九里香、十里香、千里香、萬里香、滿山香等之稱; 分佈於台灣 * * * 中國國內分佈於海南、廣東、福建及廣西、貴州、雲南、湖南四省區的南部; 花 為聚傘花序,頂生或生於上部葉腋內,通常花為10朵以內,有時多達50餘朵,有時為單 花,花白色,星狀,極芳香,直徑約3-4厘米; section 4 4 相似品種 (a) Murraya paniculata http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murraya_paniculata (Murraya is closely related to Citrus [the same family Rutaceae]; a small, tropical, evergreen tree or shrub growing up to 7 m tall. The plant flowers throughout the year) (b) Variation in number of flowers a peduncle [footnote]: (i) Photos of a single flower per peducle can be found in the Web. (ii) clusters: * http://luirig.altervista.org/floranam/murraya.htm (Photo no 5: cluster) * http://www.almostedenplants.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=537 (2) Murraya exotica http://plantsale.com.au/POSViewLarge/MuPa.html (cluster of flowers) (B) In Taiwan, Murraya flowers are not bundles like (A)(1)(b)(ii). (C) (a) ORIGINALLY I wanted to say: I strongly urge you to reconsider your conclusion, that the flowers in question are Murraya paniculata. (But I do not know. It is a whole different country than US.) The second link in (A)(1)(b)(ii) helpfully provides "USDA Cold Hardiness Zones: 9B,10,11" , which means in US only Florida and California, lower half of Arizona , as well as southern slices of Louisiana and Texas may grow the species. (b) In view of the information, I thought Sydney might be too cold for Murraya paniculata. THEN data from Australia show otherwise: Sydney is blessed to be so warm ( from the view point of a Yankee like me)--a surprise to me. (i) Iain Dawson, Plant Hardiness Zones for Australia. Australian National Botanic Gardens (ANBG), http://www.anbg.gov.au/gardens/research/hort.research/zones.htm (Zone 4: Sydney) (ii) Hardiness zone http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardiness_zone (section 6 Australian Hardiness Zones: "The USDA hardiness zones are in use in Australia, but in addition the Australian National Botanic Gardens have devised another system more in keeping with Australian conditions. They are numerically about 7 lower than the USDA system. For example, Australian zone 3 is roughly equivalent to USDA zone 9. The higher Australian zone numbers have no US equivalents.") The quotation elucidates the meaning of "USA" in preceding (i). See also: * Murraya paniculata.
