first two Christolea crassifolia but third one looks different


I think same, the third seems to be mostly in fruit


Four petalled flowers… are so uncannily like the dogwood of north american forests… pic 1270… is it fruits as …. suggested?


Yes …. This plant was in its fruiting stage. I was fortunate to get few flowers. Probably end of flowering season for this plant.

Thanks … for this precious upload. I have collected a lot between 1970 o 1975, but no photographs. Wish digital photography had come 40 years earlier. Now I can’t even able to reach and photograph species which I had named myself.
