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

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berberis hi Cerinthe it looks very much like a barberry veriaty. Check out the link on wikipedia Wed, 03/01/2007 - 1:50am
Pic 17 looks like 'Wandering Jew' commelina erecta.
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.

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

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 : It's native in tropical Africa ( and Asia) and the popular name is Wandering Jew!
