Answer:
consider myself fortunate to be able to enjoy a fabulous view outside my bedroom window. On the fifth floor of an apartment block, my window is at the canopy level of a rain tree and standing next to it and towering over it, is an old Silver Oak.

An ‘exotic’ means a plant or an animal which has been introduced, and is not native to a geographical region. It is tall, elegant, fast growing, with leaves resembling fern fronds. I had never noticed its flowering properly in the past, except that it had a yellow smattering of blossoms. But now, in close proximity to the tree the inflorescence it bears reminds me of a bright yellow comb whose teeth are curved and bent inwards. The flowers have no petals; instead they have a long calyx that splits into four lobes.

But even before I share my week-long observations, I would like to say here that an exotic species is not the best choice when we think of planting trees or shrubs. Exotics can propagate profusely due to lack of competition, and threaten native species. Much of our fauna depends on native species for their various needs, and if exotics push out natives, the fauna suffers. For e.g most insects lay eggs on native species. If those plants reduce drastically in numbers, the insect species gets affected, and the predators of that insect, like birds, or lizards, will, in turn, get affected. So an entire food chain gets disturbed. We have to respect the fact that the native plants and the fauna which thrive on them, have an age-old relationship, formed over years of evolutionary processes.

Answer:
Australian silver oak is a flowering plant in the family Proteaceae. It is a tree, the largest species in its genus but is not closely related to the true oaks, Quercus. It is a native of eastern coastal Australia, growing in riverine, subtropical and dry rainforest environments.
Silver oaks occurs naturally on the coast and ranges in southern Queensland and in New South Wales as far south as Coffs Harbour where it grows in subtropical rainforest, dry rainforest and wet forests.
