Re: Kruger plants
Was asked the other day by one of my guests while guiding in Kruger what this small shrub was on the side of the road. It gives a typical bush smell and never noticed it before.
Anyone know what it is?

Re: Plant ID needed
Looks like one of the Vernonias. It *might* be in Elsa Pooley's KZN wildflower book, or maybe in one of Gerrit Germishuizen / Anita Fabian's offerings. (Thinks: maybe we need a KNP wildflower book as companion to Schmidt-et-al's tree book ...)

Re: Plant: Vernonia
The genus Vernonia was recently moved into the genus Hilliardella
