Unknown African shrub

Hi,

My friend returned from Africa with a bunch of plant photos and I couldn't identify this one.

Thanks for your help,
Brad

 

WOW! Amazing...
(Sorry, I'm not a big help for you... :(((

 

Would you happen to know roughly where in Africa this is from?

 

Hm... maybe something in the Loranthaceae family???? (Because the flower structure is very similar to Phragmanthera or to other Loranthaceae species: http://www.plantsystematics.org/imgs/jdelaet/r/Loranthaceae_Phragmanthera_usuiensis_31706.html)

 

I'm curious as to whether it's actually a shrub, or if it's a liana of some sort - the branch paths and leaf shape are similar to the vine crossing in the background....

 

The shrub is from the Usambare Mountains in north-eastern Tanzania. I'm pretty sure it is a shrub, but I'll ask my friend and get back to you.

Thanks,
Brad
