Which plant is locally known as Ghaap, Frailea or Hoodia?
Hoodia Hoodia (known locally as "ghaap" or "bobbejaanghaap") is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apocynaceae, under the subfamily Asclepiadoideae, native to Southern Africa.
Banksia densa Banksia densa is a shrub endemic to Western Australia. It was known as Dryandra conferta until 2007, when all "Dryandra" species were transferred to "Banksia" by Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele. As there was already a plant named "Banksia conferta" (Glasshouse Banksia), Mast and Thiele were forced to choose a new specific epithet; their choice, "densa", is from the Latin "densus" ("thick, close, compact"), in reference to the way the leaves are densely crowded around the inflorescences.
