Do I also have to join?

yes

I've joined the project. Trying to add this observation...no luck. I'm sure I'm not understanding something obvious. Can someone teach me?

You cannot add observations to a collections project. They are automatically added. That is already added.
However, the Project will only display on an observation if the Observer joins the project.
So request @luyanda78 to join this project, and it will display (and also simultaneously on all their Asteraceae in southern Africa observations).

Thanks!

There are many good photos of Berkheya decurrens waiting for a second ID. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?verifiable=true&page=1&spam=false&taxon_id=581070&user_id=&project_id=&place_id=any&quality_grade=needs_id

I think there are enough to get the taxon added to CV if the best of the remaining observations get IDd. Thanks for considering the request.
