Strelitzia reginae (Strelitziaceae) is a monocotyledonous flowering plant indigenous to South Africa
Violets have two kinds of flowers. Some of their flowers grow aboveground, and others, like the ones shown here, live out their life cycle under the surface. These cleistogamous flowers are self-fertilizing. This kind of flower is found in many species, but they contribute to the potential weediness of violets in designed landscapes. Between spreading vegetatively and their cleistogamous flowers, violets can be an unwanted pest in the garden.

Angelica sylvestris or wild angelica is a species of flowering plant, native to Europe and central Asia. An annual or short-lived perennial growing to a maximum of 2.5 metres (8.2 ft), it has erect purplish stems and rounded umbels of minuscule white or pale pink flowers in late summer.

Nymphaeaceae /ˌnɪmfiːˈeɪsiː/ is a family of flowering plants. Members of this family are commonly called water lilies and live as rhizomatous aquatic herbs in temperate and tropical climates around the world. The family contains eight large-flowered genera with about 70 species. The genus Nymphaea contains about 35 species in the Northern Hemisphere. The genus Victoria contains two species of giant water lilies endemic to South America. Water lilies are rooted in soil in bodies of water, with leaves and flowers floating on the surface. The leaves are round, with a radial notch in Nymphaea and Nuphar, but fully circular in Victoria.
Water lilies are a well studied clade of plants because their large flowers with multiple unspecialized parts were initially considered to represent the floral pattern of the earliest flowering plants, and later genetic studies confirmed their evolutionary position as basal angiosperms. Analyses of floral morphology and molecular characteristics and comparisons with a sister taxon, the family Cabombaceae, indicate, however, that the flowers of extant water lilies with the most floral parts are more derived than the genera with fewer floral parts. Genera with more floral parts, Nuphar, Nymphaea, Victoria, have a beetle pollination syndrome, while genera with fewer parts are pollinated by flies or bees, or are self- or wind-pollinated Thus, the large number of relatively unspecialized floral organs in the Nymphaeaceae is not an ancestral condition for the clade.

Two weeks on the wonderful Nyika Plateau in northern Malawi. The dry, cold winter months are probably the worst time of year to do botany there especially when at least half of the grasslands have just been burnt or even are still on fire. Yet we did find plenty of flora (and fauna) to enjoy. One particular highlight was Disa praecox, a Nyika endemic little orchid. This is one of the very few early flowering, pyrophytic orchid species so this time and this place actually present the only chance to ever see it and we were lucky enough to find one just poking its lovely little head above the freshly scorched soil.
Disa ukingensis is a near-endemic only found in high-altitude montane grasslands of Nyika and the Southern Highlands of Tanzania.

Cosmos are herbaceous perennial plants or annual plants growing 0.3–2 m (1 ft 0 in–6 ft 7 in) tall. The leaves are simple, pinnate, or bipinnate, and arranged in opposite pairs. The flowers are produced in a capitulum with a ring of broad ray florets and a center of disc florets; flower color is very variable between the different species. The genus includes several ornamental plants popular in gardens. Numerous hybrids and cultivars have been selected and named.

A number of Habenaria species were on the menu in Nyika, one quite literally as the budding inflorescences had all been eaten by bushbuck. Some were still in bud while others already had the flowers finished. Even when they are in their full glory is not always easy to identify the green chinese puzzles in this genus but one looked promisingly different. It is Habenaria xanthochlora a near-endemic, only found on the Nyika and in similar habitats accross the border in Southern Tanzania.
Cerbera odollam is a dicotyledonous angiosperm, a plant species in the family Apocynaceae and commonly known as the suicide tree, pong-pong, mintolla, and othalam. It bears a fruit known as othalanga (Malayalam: ഒതളങ്ങ) that yields a potent poison that has been used for suicide and murder. It is a species native to India and other parts of southern Asia, growing preferentially in coastal salt swamps and in marshy areas but also grown as a hedge plant between home compounds. Cerbera odollam is known by a number of vernacular names, depending on the region. These include othalam (ഒതളം) in the Malayalam language used in Kerala, India; kattu arali (காட்டரளி) in the adjacent state of Tamil Nadu; famentana, kisopo, samanta or tangena in Madagascar; and pong-pong, buta-buta, bintaro or nyan in Southeast Asia
Cerbera odollam bears a close resemblance to oleander, another highly toxic plant from the same family. Its branchlets are whorled about the trunk, and its leaves are terminally crowded, with tapering bases, acuminate apices, and entire margins. The plant as a whole yields a milky, white latex.
Its fruit, when still green, looks like a small mango, with a green fibrous shell enclosing an ovoid kernel measuring approximately 2 cm × 1.5 cm and consisting of two cross-matching white fleshy halves. On exposure to air, the white kernel turns violet, then dark grey, and ultimately brown, or black.
The kernels of C. odollam contain cerberin, a digoxin-type cardenolide and cardiac glycoside toxin that blocks the calcium ion channels in heart muscle, causing disruption of the heart beat, most often fatally. The most common symptom of toxicity in humans was noted to be vomiting. Electrocardiographic abnormalities were noted to be common, the most common being sinus bradycardia. Around half of the patients develops thrombocytopenia. Temporary cardiac pacing has been used in the management, apart from other supportive measures.

"The fuller's teasel (the cultivar group Dipsacus fullonum Sativus Group; syn. D. sativus) was formerly widely used in textile processing, providing a natural comb for cleaning, aligning and raising the nap on fabrics, particularly wool.
It is native to Eurasia and North Africa, but it is known in the Americas, southern Africa, Australia and New Zealand as an introduced species and often a noxious weed." - Wikipedia

A pendant cluster of smooth, dry fruits (follicles), somewhat inflated, borne on long, smooth to minutely hairy pedicels. Young fruit are green to yellowish-brown, but turn reddish at maturity, in mid August and September. The persistent follicles each contain 3-4 shiny, light brown seeds.
