Zygophyllum qatarense

This species quite variable, both in size and morphology. By the dunes of Arher you will find the largest specimens, like this one, which is also in bloom. The tiny white flowers are not easy to see, but it is worth sticking your nose up close as they have a delightfully sweet scent.

As the name implies this is a species not endemic to Socotra, but is found throughout the Arabian Peninsula.
