Thanks again, Mel Turner, for identifying my Thonningia sanguinea.

Here's another puzzler -- found in the Springbok area of Namaqualand,
South Africa. I'm thinking perhaps Cytinus sanguineus, in Cytinaceae,
but can find only photos of pistillate flowers, and these are staminate.
Descriptions do say the "staminal column sticks out of the flower."
But I'm guessing here.

Anyone know for sure? thanks.
