Fantastic! One more "thank you" is in place :D (as always)

Tina I have suggested an ID for you on your spot.
Fanie
Tina That ID is for the Australian species of that plant. So no, yours will be the same genus but different species. It might even be different to mine. I will see if I can find out which one grows in Mozambique.
Tiz
Do you think this one has the wrong ID? http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/31105063 I think it looks very similar to yours...
