VMs: Cressa Australis (Cressa Cretica)

Hi

Here is a drawing of the Australian variety. Note the drawing of
the unopened flower head, which resembles the VMS plant very
well.

Also the multiple flower heads at the top of the stem are present
in both. It would be interesting to investigate the writing on both
the plant stem and the as well as one of the flower heads to see
how this might tie in with the identification. I believe that it is the
fruit of this plant that is considered medicinal.
