Witgat

I would not have guessed this! The leaves are perfect but this was a dwarf creeper, pruned by browsing to a bonsai not more than 200mm tall and spreading sideways.

How a plant that is so tasty survives beats me!

But look at the other observations: all have clear browse lines or other evidence of being chewed to death!
No wonder the best plants are in the dunes far from any waterholes!
