KILIMANJARO: Lobelia deckenii. I never heard a common name for it. I thought it might be related to the Pineapple, but only on the Division (Phylum) level, Magnoliophyta. Still, it was fun to see them along the way. Although, I suspect both plants use the popular Fibonacci Sequence to produce their patterns.
