Its basically a stalk, with smallish grape like orange fruit (4 inches along top of stalk (1 inch in diameter) on it. I tried uploading the picture but it wont accept it here it seems. |

I have the same plant, but no idea what it is. I'm hoping someone can identify it for us. Your description is spot on, there's nothing useful I can think of to add, except that it's a weird looking critter and it doesn't look edible to me. I'll get a photo and post it, if I can work out how to do it... Jonno wrote: Chookie wrote: In article , Jonno wrote: Can any one identify this plant. Its about a foot tall.

Had another look and the "fruit" stem whare it attaches to the stem is ofset a few degrees ie a slight angle. The orange beads are in a cluster about 3/8 of an inch 0r 10 mm in diameter each. The beads seperate and looks like theyre attractive to birds. (possibly expains the fact theyre all over the place. Very ripe at this time of year, so are the birds. Carwash here we come again... |

No birds eat them here. What birds have you seen eating them? We have quite a few growing in out in our place and wonder how its spreads, if its edible Squash one and you'll see dozens of tiny seeds. -- John Savage (my news address is not valid for email) |

My guess is that the seeds are spread underfoot after you've trodden on a fallen berry. Let me know if you see anything eating the berry or the leaves. Nothing seems to touch them here. It is an attractive little plant, bright orange fruit set against dark foliage, but in the interests of the environment just make sure you don't spread the seeds into bushland. -- John Savage (my news address is not valid for email) |

But as each berry is perfectly round and looks nothing like an elongated chilli shape I doubt that that could be their correct name. I don't believe these berries are edible. -- John Savage (my news address is not valid for email) |
