Not a silly question at all Janet!!! Believe me I have been torturing my brains myself to find out if those seedpods belong to the same plant, but I see no other possibility, I checked the exact moment the pictures where taken, both at 15.12 pm and the photo following the seedpods is again a flower picture at 15.13pm, (one is missing and must have been deleted) ... unless I went over to a neighbouring shrub, the one with seedpods visible on the bottom right and then turned back to the flowering one. If only I could remember Rolling my eyes.
Another bothering thing is that the stems of the seedpods are a dark burgundy colour, not sure if it turns that colour in the process of maturing. The leaves do look the same at first sight but like you say there are not sufficient details about the venation..
I'll have to go back there and double-check.. Hilarious!

I found some similar ones in the Rubiaceae..
genus Posoqueria
