   It is a mystery to me too – looks like it should be swimming at the bottom of the sea.

   hey guys, thanks for the comments. it really is an unusual plant. still waiting for someone to identify it – maybe it will remain a mystery?

   I have certainly seen this plant before, however cannot help you with an ID. perhaps try see if there is an image of it here.

   I think this is one of the Ledbouria. In this picture the little flowers haven’t opened yet, but it looks a lot like Ledbouria ovatifolia:

   Lucky you. Agree with Steve – Ledebouria species. Indigenous to SA.
