In the Tree July 20, 2021 ~ Aletta - nowathome Becky’s Tree Square challenge and The Cosmic Photo Challenge Buddleja saligna, the false olive or bastard olive, is almost endemic to South Africa where it has a wide distribution. It occurs most often in ravines and against outcrops, and is distributed from coastal elevations to the central plateau at elevations of < 2000 m. Who is hiding here?
