I'm sure it's not a tree, so I'll stab at 4 and 5.

Good grief - your son's leaving high school! I think I remember (can't be
too sure these days!) that you announced his birth here, and that doesn't
seem all that long ago.

So ... I'm guessing that it's named for someone called Quice, not an obsolete word. That eliminates anything ancient. I think I would have heard of a few of the remaining ones, which eliminates them. Of those that are left, 9 and 10 as random (and probably wrong, but then so is my reasoning) choices..

10 & 11 look like they may be right.

I saw #12 when in Hawaii last winter, and I don’t think that’s what it was called, but my memory isn’t the best. Either way, they were fantastically beautiful.
