I was very curious what plant could look like both Gazania and Chlorophytum, but when I followed the link to the Dymondia margaretae observation I saw why—pale-edged green leaves, like a lot of cultivated Chlorophtum, with a yellow composite flower, slightly like a Gazania. CV is doing its best!

A caveat: if you can’t figure out the species, you shouldn’t just automatically select the genus suggested, because sometimes the species it suggests are not all in the same genus, and you need to figure out the family or even order that all the possible species have in common.
It seems to give a list of random species (without suggesting a genus) only when the photos are so blurry or lacking in details that it makes wild guesses by listing everything remotely possible, like every yellow flower, with a few yellow birds and some insects thrown in, for good measure. Which can be amusing, sometimes.

Which isn’t so different from some human-made IDs. I’ve seen some real doozies.

CV suggests, the guessing comes from the human whose name is on the ID. We have to decide if we are looking at - flower bird insect.
