I have this image of an unknown plant and wondered if anyone had any
ideas of what it is?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Ren

I cannot tell as the image is too small and monchrome. Any additional data
would help. How big it is and what is its habit? How much of the thing are
we looking at here? What are the odd disjointed looking "legs" underneath?
What is the bark of the trunk like? What are the flowers like? Where is it
growing now? Where do you think it came from?

I have seen leaves like that on both acacias and eucalyptus and I would
guess they are found on other genera too. If it is one of those two final
identification could be quite tricky as there are 100s of species of each
and some are very similar. Sometimes it takes an expert to determine small
details of seed pods etc to get a positive ID.

Sort of a stab in the dark, becaue the image is so small.
But I get the impression it might be:

Sasa pygmaea
(Also known as Pleioblastus pygmaeus or Arundinaria pygmaea)

Goes by the common English name of Pygmy Bamboo.

But that's only a guess.
