Ochna serrulata
[edit]Hello, thanks for the ID on File:Ochna serrulata.jpg. Is there a way to ascertain the difference between the two? It's not native here (Philippines) of course which is why I'm not sure about its exact classification.-Obsidi♠nSoul 08:34, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
- Gotcha. Thanks for the link! :) --Obsidi♠nSoul 18:49, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

You are kindly invited to partake in Wikimedia South Africa's own Wiki Love's fynbos and science competition. The competition was first organized in Estonia, expanded to all of Europe in 2015, and to the rest of the world in 2017. A very special category for Wiki Science in South Africa is the Fynbos category.
To participate, you must:
Be the author of pictures/submissions you upload. Must have the rights (copyright) to upload your submissions. The photographs should be of high quality and large size and need to have a good description including what the image depicts, how and where it was made, and what is important to notice about it (please include any links to peer-reviewed publications if appropriate, not required but a very nice thing to have). Use the Wikimedia Commons category: Images from Wiki Science Competition 2021 in South Africa to enter your pictures into the competition. It is encouraged to add the images to other additional appropriate Commons categories. For more details, see the full international rules. Use the hashtags Twitter Logo Mini.svg #WSC2021 #WikiScience #WikiScience2021 to spread the word about the competition!
