Several km south of Hoek-sonder-koffie on a small trib of the Brandewyn. Is this another Oxalis simplex? Lots of it at this location, also where Charlie Stirton found a new Drosera ten years ago (but no trace of the Drosera any more)

An astonishing nest that is below the reach of equinoctial spring tides - there is dried kelp higher up the shoreline. This could help explain the drowned Crems seen at De Kelders (link to come)
