Sunday, 7 October 2012 – Keetmanshoop to Luderitz
Today was yet another driving day, with four stops (S2635 to S2638). By now we had become used to seeing few plants, but we were heading back towards South Africa where on one day we had seen more different taxa than in all our time in Namibia. And when you do find a plant, like this Sarcocaulon, it has no leaves, flowers or fruits to try to decide what name to give it. But, to put things into perspective, we would not have seen the plants that we have seen here if we had stayed south of the border.
