Default Identifying plants on coins

Does anyone recognise the plants on these 2 centimos and 20 centimos coins
of Mozambique, please?

The consensus so far for the others is:-

1 centimo. Protea, Leucospermum sp.
1 metica. Madgascar Palm, Pachypodium sp.
5 centimos. Cashew apples.
10 centimos. Sugar cane, Saccharum officinarum
50 centimos. Cashew, Anacardium occidentale
2 M 50. (2 meticas and 50 centimos) Castor bean plant, ricinus communis

Regards,

Adetola Obembe.
