Terminalia prunioides

These attractive seedpods belong to the Purple-pod, or Lowveld, Cluster-leaf, a densely branched shrub or small tree that is found in our Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces. It proliferates in clay-like soils, often in rocky areas next to large rivers, and is heavily used by browsing animals.
