DORSTENIA

The Dorstenia (Family: Moraceae) is a diverse group of plants with unusual flowers and the one I photographed here should be a Dorstenia turneraefolia.

Sometimes I find it very strange that I can suddenly remember some of these obscure plant names but forget some of the common ones. I guess this is a sign of aging.

DORSTENIA

This is an unknown plant to me. It is anyone's guess on the identity.

NB on 24 Dec 12: I believe this is a Dorstenia elata (Family: Moraceae). Surprisingly, it is from the same family as the figs. There is another D. contrajerva which I love more because of its beautiful lobed leaves.
