Field Notes

Description:

Tiny flower that at first glance reminded me of a miniature Lantana camara. That is why I stooped to look at this flower growing at ground level. the ladybird beetle was a bonus.

Habitat:

Wasteland and garbage dump on the banks of a freshwater lake. apparently it is a bit of a globe-trotter.

Notes:

Also called Frog fruit or Sawtooth fogfruit. ID Courtesy stho002
