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 Are you referring to pic 1 only?

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.

Thanks Freda, you better watch this topic often as we will post all plants we see from now on
So good to see you here

In this pic I am curious as to the stem to the right in the pic. It looks like it has thorns?

Pic 5

This was on cam maybe a month or two ago, but I never posted it, but still I would like to know what it is? I'm referring to the plant

I will get back to you on these two, Cerinthe.
Where they both taken on the Nkorho cam?

All these pics were taken on the Nkorho cam

Pic 7

Speldedoring/Needlebush - Azima tetracantha

this plant looks the same as pic 4, 5 and 6 !!!

Pic 8

the small scrub at the right near the cam tree
the flowers of the scrub looked on cam whitish with a slight trace of rose

Pic 9

the pic was taken today but not posted in the cam pics thread

Pic 10

somehow these leaves make me think of Tulip leaves. The spots are raindrops!

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

Pic 11 (more pics on page 4)

no flowers on this plant in the centre of the pic.

Thank you Freda, for helping us to ID Nkorho's Flora!

Pic 17

Wandering Jew - Commelina erecta

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.

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

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 : 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...

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