You're welcome, Mauna. is very interesting as it can live in this type of soil.
You're definitely correct about the family and genus, Sckel! I did a quick search and came up with a species level ID. Thank you very much!
Hi, mauna. I think it's a kind of family Goodeniaceae. Maybe Scaevola L. genus.
