A good close-up but not the Boraginaceae family.

Seems to be Polygonaceae, maybe Aconogonum tortuosum (syn. Polygonum tortusoum) but it would help if you have any images of lower down the plant to send. This would help confirm the identification of this very variable shrub? It may be that someone else can immediately recognises I with confidence.

But, as I said for your Lindelofia post, please take and post more than just one photo per plant (several, covering close-ups of flowers and foliage plus habit and of habitat make areal difference; with the advent of good compact digital cameras this can now be done at no cost).  Sometimes a species is distinctive and can be recognised from a single image but not always (and not everyone do this reliably) also do give an altitude and approximate location each time.

Extra images and information provide extra clues.  I approach plant identification as detective work - the more clues and supporting evidence, the better - helping with the reliability and accuracy of naming.  They also reduce the time it takes to "track down" the family, genus or species - it can be very time-consuming attempting to identify a plant from only one or two general images and at times, impossible without such close-up shots of all the plant and location details to check that the species we think a plant is, makes sense from existing records.

 

Best Wishes,

Chris Chadwell
