One to guess!! ?

No takers this time? here is the whole plant as Chad rightly pointed out its Balm of Gilead or Cedronella canariensis which on Madeira they claim as an endemic its where I picked up the seeds and for me here this is an evergreen sub shrub which requires quite vigorous cutting back on a regular basis - it seems surprisingly tough considering its origins. I love the smell of this :)

Plectranthus ernstii, and I think that is the 'type' form as it was first described and goes under the cultivar name 'Oribi'.

Tell me to shut up if I am ruining the game!

:lol: I cut the flowers off because I thought that would be too easy, perhaps I should have cut it down to soil level before posting the picture. :)
I do find Plectranthus a fascinating genus of plants to grow with such a wide range of characteristics, the 'spur' flowers seem to be the only common denominator.

They are trying this approach over on GOTE!

ps. I stopped playing at that stage!

I had the camera out and can do a string of these now.

Lets start with an easy one.

Nobody?

Charlie this a genus you know very well!

Anyone?

Well when I first looked I thought it was Lonicera but was not keen to display my ignorance! I certainly couldn't connect the leaves and flowers in any meaningful way :)

[Chad]

Quite right Charlie,

Lonicera crassifolia, seems to form a ground hugging mat rather wanting to climb anything.

Sadly unscented to my nose.

Now what next?

Just get to family and you are doing well, though again I would expect Charlie to get that far easily, he grows some of its relatives...

Extra kudos for genus and astonishment for species!

Worth guessing though!
