User's notes

I think this might be Capparis sepiaria based on flower and fruit although it normally doesn’t flower until November. I’ve been through mangroves and Lilly pillies with this one so I’d be very happy for someone to tell me what it is.

"Flowers in terminal pseudo-corymbs"
– the necessary feature observation of the many features shown in these five photographs, to key this out to species.

It did not add that, my, suggested new species to the Identification History rather it just ignored it. Why?

Update edit an hour later: It has now added it, belatedly.
