Aizoaceae and Basellaceae species

Post by John Holst »

I shall upload all plant pics where I just have the slightest doubt about my identification. Im trying to do it in a systematic order.

Boussingaltia cordifolia is the Flora Europaea name of Anredera cordifolia, - and Im not at all sure about this idenfication.

The redish young leaves makes me think of Capparis too... Anredera have a climbing habit
