Greetings. A small typo and a question
Commiphora viminea
Description
Small to medium-sized, exceptionally twiggy, deciduous single-stemmed tree or shrub. Bark grey with distinctive dark blackish warty horizontal bands, hence the common name. Bark of older trees peels in horizontal bands. Simple blue-green leaves with a thoothed edge at the top third (45 x 25 mm); leaves are clustered in rosettes. Leaves are covered by a thin, greyish, powdery layer. Flowers (male and female on different trees) in small inconspicuous clusters on the spur-branchlets, yellowish green, appearing just before or with the new leaves. Fruit ellipsoid, up to 1.3 cm long, pointed, hairless, reddish-brown when ripe, splitting to reveal a black seed with a 4-lobed yellow pseudo-aril, almost completely covering the seed.
Distribution
Botswana, Mozambique, northern Namibia, Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and Limpopo, Mpumalanga, South Africa
Habitat
It occursin hot, arid bushveld, particularly with Colophospermum mopane.
1. Typo: above spacing between occurs and in.
2. ... almost completely covering the seed. Should this not read "almost surrounds the stone which covers the seed"?
Take care
David
