Plant Identification - DONE

[okie]

Next time I go to Kommetjie , I will prove to you that these are Brazilian Peppers .

Interesting discussion, Toko and okie I've googled both and I agree with Toko on this one. My plant is a shrub growing on the coastal dunes, whereas the Brazilian Pepper is a tree, lots larger than my low-growing shrub. Plus the leaves on my shrub are quite a bit different from the leaves on the pepper tree, plus those that I've seen bear little resemblance to this shrub except for the red berries. On the pepper trees that I've seen the berries "cascade", whereas these on the shrub are more "clumped". But I've really enjoyed the discussion and it has made me explore further. Thanks to you both

And many thanks for the Cape dandelion ID as well, Toko

Not sure of this one , picture not very clear , but looks somewhat like a pink Cape Honeysuckle - Tecomaria capensis .

All the pix of Cape honeysuckle that I find from googling show red flowers and a more elongated shape.

Here are two more photos ... do they help at all?

Thank you arks Certainly not Cape Honeysuckle , maybe another exotic invader .
Toko ......help

Thank you arks . keep in mind that growing so close to the seaside with the cold wind breezes and fogs and saltspray , especially on that part of the coast has quite an influence and effect on growth , causing stunting etc , but your more specific description does make it a little clearer . Therefore , I am not necessarily completely convinced yet , but accept that this could very well be dune currants

And , Toko , tops as usual

Podranea ricasoliana (Port St. John's creeper) is out of range, belongs into the Eastern Cape, but also as a garden ornamental used

Or this is an exotic Trumpet Tree, Tabebuia

Tabebuia rosea Rose Trumpet Tree or Tabebuia heptaphylla Mauve Trumpet Tree; but does not look tree-like

Toko , I think you hit the nail with Podreana . The low growth amongst dense coastal vegetation is a giveaway to me . Very prevalent in gardens here in the Cape .

Absolutely spot on with Podreana, Toko, many thanks!

Here are a few more Cape plants that I need ID help with. These are from a visit to WCNP in early December 2014.

3. Are these the same as #1, only different colour variations?

Sea Lavender (Limonium peregrinum) wow - very pretty blooms - love them
