Took these pictures in the botanical garden of Berlin, unfortunately i took a pic of a different label...

Any suggestions?

The leaves in your photo look very similar to my Thyrsacanthus plants, but it's clearly not that.

I'm not familiar with Dorstenias, but I did a bit of online searching, and there are quite a few species, with not many online photos. Like their mulberry relatives, I think the leaves on some plants can be lobed and unlobed. I'm not sure if that disk thing in your photos is a flower or fruit, but it's not like anything I've seen before. It does look like it belongs to some sort of Dorstenia, though, I agree.

The photo in the plant database for D. choconiana shows a plant with deeply lobed leaves, but there's a photo at Wikimedia Commons that shows a plant with unlobed leaves that look somewhat like the plant in your photos. https://commons.wikimedia.org/...

That's my best guess, but I'm not exactly brimming with confidence that it's correct, lol. I wonder if you could e-mail your photos (or a link to this thread with the photos) to someone at the garden to see if someone can tell you the correct name?

Good luck!

I agree.
Botanical gardens are normally extremely helpful with such requests.
Please keep us all posted.
Interesting/ very different plant.

I think that is Dorstenia zanzibarica with very short peduncle, unless it is a more uncommon one, especially in a botanical garden.
But if this is i a trading/market I would think D zanzibarica

I agree that it is some species of Dorstenia but I've never seen one with such short yet plump rays on the hypanthodium. I don't think it's D. zanzibarica because that has triangular flowers. It is also a caudisciform so it would have a swollen base and I'm sure you would have taken a picture of its base if it were swollen.I would text your pictures to the Botanical Garden and have them ID it. Please keep us updated and if they ID it for you add it to the data base.

If they have a map, maybe you can find it looking at the tag you photographed, to see what is next to it.

The flowers are that of a Dortenia.
