Nipple fruit Solanum mammosumflowers (top) and the yellow fruit (below).
Egg plants from my child-hood encounter also have similar but much shorter and curved dark brown spines. Look at those leaves with spear-like thorns!
At 'grass-root' level - even the humble weeds are in their splendor - Cupid's shaving brush Emilia sonchchifolia ready to release their ball heads - laden with silky white hairs.
And a nearby Golden Shower Cassia fistula tree littered the ground with golden yellow petals and the 'C'-shaped or semi-circular stamens that stained the pavement ( see image below)
The hot dry weather in early March had triggered quite a number of pink mempat Cratoxylum formosum to shed their leaves and flowers thus exposing the parasite plants that live off them ( see the tell-tale sign of their presence in the image below).

Hi Randy:
This is a common 'weed' - you can spot them on sides of pavements and grassland. ( the foto shown is a closeup) Have not seen any field full of them.
