thousands of grain of yellow-green pollen that showers down on people,

Some thing similar happend with me also when first visited California. I found a common tree on roadsides that looked similar to both maple and Platanus, Not being able to identify it myself due to lack of literature, I sent photographs to Group TAXACOM (I was not member of indiantreepix then) with comments "A tree with leaves like maple and inflorescence like Platanus" it was soon identified as Liquidambar styraciflua.
