    All three found recently in the Canary Islands and have me stumped. Can anyone assist please?

    1 - a tiny yellow flower, about 6mm in diameter, with five petals and a distinctive brown/black circle. the plant has fleshy leaves

    2 - a shrub/tree with large almost circular leaves and rubbery latex sap. The flowers when open have five cream petals with purple tips - it could be a Ficus but I can't identify it

    3 - a shrub with woody stems and fleshy 'fingers' sometimes ending in tiny leaves in pairs. The fingers are easily detached and leave distinctive wound marks on the stems

    Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me on these
