User's notes
I think this might be Capparis sepiaria based on flower and fruit although it normally doesn’t flower until November. I’ve been through mangroves and Lilly pillies with this one so I’d be very happy for someone to tell me what it is.

It did not add that, my, suggested new species to the Identification History rather it just ignored it. Why?
Update edit an hour later: It has now added it, belatedly.
