A shrubby weed found growing with Breynia disticha in a planter bed. I had previously misidentified observations of the same plant as Exallage auricularia. Puff et al. (2021) in the Flora of Thailand account has stated that E. auricularia has pubescent leaves and stems, but the leaves and stems of this species are mostly glabrous except for being minutely hairy along the edges of the stem. This particular species keyed out to S. ocymifolia in Wong et al. (2019).

Pic 1-2: habit
Pic 3-4: detail of an inflorescence, with the corolla and bristle-like stipule
Pic 5-7: undersides of leaves
Pic 8-9: detail of teeth on edges of leaves
Pic 10-12: bristle-like stipules
Pic 13-14: 4-lobed calyx
Pic 15-16: oblong capsules (calyx after maturity) formed, each capsule containing 2 seeds. The swelling is localised at the base of the capsule, where said capsule will dehisce (split) from the base.
Pic 17-18: detail of corolla; corolla tube measuring about 2 mm long
Pic 19-20: oblong seeds, showing the ventral (pic 19) and dorsal (pic 20) seed surface. Note the reticulate dorsal seed surface.

A green chiton attached to a half crab. We observed this alien looking commensal beast while undertaking an intertidal survey on the reefs off Hawera. It made us jump when we first turned over the rock.

my 777th observation has to be real special!
and this will be the oldest observation I'll submit on this profile
the only one taken before I started using iNat because it's just too special for me
learnt about it a few weeks before this and went to dairy farm
low and behold I saw this in the bushes!
feel so blessed and lucky that I recognised it
cg and aravindh were there with me too so they have pics as well

Growing on sandy soil in full sun. Abundant along a short stretch of coastline.

Prostrate or straggling habit; 7- or 9-foliate leaves; tiny pea flowers under 1 cm long; hairy stems, leaflets, calyx, corolla & legumes; pods with ~8-9 seeds and a prominent curved hook

Computer vision suggested genus Tephrosia for many of these photos. Very intrigued
