Sorry I don't agree, the inflorescence is more pea like which brought me to Ornithopus. there are also differences including the density of hairs on the leaves. Also, closer look shows that the pinnate leaves are a slightly more alternate look then Tribulus which are completely opposite leaves. no sign of pods to provide more evidence. A lot consisted of umbels of roughly 3 flowers. My apologies was also recorded in September last year.

Digitaria divaricatissima I suspect but it's not really possible to say

Thanks for the P. adelopa suggestion. I think its a contender, more so than P. leptochroa which I looked long and hard at too, if only because the reniform mark has a slight reddish tiinge as here:-
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/153309953
However, looking at the the two pages for P. adelopa for Part 9 on the supporting disc, i also note the iNaturalist examples also show a white orbicular spot towards the forewing base there and in many odf th e iNaturalist examples which seems to absent in this specimen. Also P. adelopa elsewhere apparently lacks the black 'collar' behind the head apparent here. However, I must say the black dots along the costa seem to match P. paratorna. MoV are tentatative about P. paratorna. They only have a few specimens and the type specimen is in the UK!
