Default Strange plant, can anyone idenify it for me?

Not a lot to lose by trying!

Quite a lot of such plants self-seed themselves in other people's
gardens. My Danae racemosa has seeded in some places - but, oh!,
IS it slow to grow from seed! If the seeds are eaten by birds,
some other people may have been puzzled by its seedlings, which
don't look much like the parent plant for several years :-)
