Could be Senna petersiana - I have seen it in the Punda Maria camp so know it occurs there.

Checked with a colleague and she agrees with me, although also suggests the possibility of Senna abbreviata. Both occur in the area, and are not easy to tell apart in a photo like this.

Thanks so much, ecojunkie

Struggling with this one:

Okay I came up with : gardenia cornutta hemsl. Anybody agree? Photo was taken in Louis Trichard

No no revised answer. a Puzzle bush

I'll second that.

You of course would have to get two species in the area, Ehretia obtusifolia and E. rigida. The former has white flowers, so we are looking at the latter.

Hi,

Could someone please help me identify this tree I found in our garden? The seed was dropped by a bird.

It's a small tree and it has got latex in it when you break off a leaf. I have no idea what it is.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi.

Looks like a type of wild fig.

Hallo,

Could it be possible to identify this tree? Or would you really need a close up?
It was taken in september in the north of Kruger (somewhere between Shingwedzi and Punda). It really stood out against the dry landscape.

my guess would be a Sycamore Fig.

Ficus sycomorus

Can anyone help with an ID for this tree? Seen in Mokala NP on 27 October 2012.

Thank you Forestgump.

@ Arks , looks like a Shepherds-tree, Boscia albitrunca

Many thanks, FG
