Sjambok Bush (Kleinia longiflora)

Family Asteraceae

 Besides the name of this plant which was identified for me by Judd Kirkel on iSpot, I can find no further information on it.

 This specimen was found and photographed in the Hoedspruit region.

 It is a very unusual plant in that it has no leaves and looks more like a grass or succulent than a plant of the Aster family.
