Field Collection Notes
Locally common as small plants scattered on a sloping rock/concrete retaining wall. Sward of kikuyu grass along the lower edge at the back of the beach. Open site. Plants with succent leaves, rather yellowish, some with a pink hue. Not planted, perhaps dropped down from garden above? But couldn't see any of these plants in the above garden. All sterile; stained paper. Retained one to grow on
