Plant Identification

[arks]

Can anyone help with an ID of what I think might be a parasitic plant on this tree? Seen in the western part of Mapungubwe in late October 2014.

A plant that parasaitizes trees could only be in the family Viscaceae or Loranthaceae I think and this does not look like these at all.

I think it's a shrub growing close to the tree, looks broom-like or Gnidia-like. And there are pods if I am not mistaken.

I'm gonna hazard a guess and say it's not a Scotch broom (invasive) Cytisus scoparius

but might be a scrambling shrub in the Capparaceae family such as Cadaba aphylla (looks very much like yours, but not very common in the north-east)

Can anyone help with an ID for these two flowers/shrubs? Both seen in KNP in early November 2014. The first was seen at Crook's Corner

[Toko]

The first one is two plants, the flower is an Asteraceae growing in the shrub.

Here are a couple more KNP plants that I need ID help for, please? The first was seen in Olifants camp, along the path from the car park to the shop/restaurant.



The second one was seem across from Nsemani Dam
