| Abstract: | Known by many Gozitans as il-Mall, the public garden of Villa Rundle, located in the heart of Victoria dates back to around 1915. It was named after its founder and governor during that time, General Leslie Rundle. It has been upgraded several times during these hundred years and now features over 100 different species of trees, both native (e.g. Holm oak, Dwarf Palm tree, Sundarac Gum tree) and exotic (e.g. Jacaranda, Hibiscus, Kurrajong and Norfolk pine trees), as well a large array of seasonal flowering plants. But lurking at the base of some trunk, through wooden mulch, protruding out from grassy lawns or in any imaginable corner, we find different and more curious living organisms to admire – fungi (often referred to as mushrooms). |
