Think it is a member of the solanum family, commonly known as bitter or poison apple.
Unfortunately can't see the leaf clearly :cry:

Yes, Cerinthe, but I think 2 is the same family, silverleaf bitter apple and poison apple but not sure which is which.
Silverleaf bitter apple is called Satansbos in Afrikaans.

I think Pic 7 could possibly be a Speldedoring / Needle bush (Azima tetracantha)
Could be totally wrong though :roll:

Laughing out loud Hi Freda, I googled "Wandering Jew" and that's a Tradescantia pallida. I also googled Commelina erecta and this one is called Whitemouth Dayflower, but it seems to be a specie found on the American continent. The Commelina africana has yellow flowers.

Laughing out loud It looks like we have to start over with this one or maybe we can get some info from the lodge?

Laughing out loud Freda, I googled Speldedoring/Needlebush - Azima tetracantha and it looks like you are right!!! Now if I understood it well, those "needles" are actually the place where this plant flowers? I'll keep a close eye on the cam!

I concur with Freda on this plant, it looks very much like the wandering jew. It says in my book Low-growing, spreading, perennieal herb. Floweres 15mm diam, produced from within folded spathe (spring-summer). Most species have bluish flowers. Widepsread except at high altitudes

:oops: Freda & Cerinthe, I searched further for the Commelin species. Could our plant be Commelin benghalensis Puzzled: It's native in tropical Africa ( and Asia) and the popular name is Wandering Jew! :oops: Beisdes that, I found that Commelin is also Tradescantia family.... :oops: my bad...

Smiling I hope you both will forgive me..........
