garethhDescription
I found this small tree in the Pretoria Botanical Gardens, the leaves were imparipinnately compound, rachis about 200mm long, leaflets about 70mm long, fruit were about 200mm long with soft velvety texture. Bark weas light grey in colour with vertical fissures. Tree size about 3-5m tall, trunk diameter about 70-100mm. Can anyone assist with identification please? None of the indigenous trees in Van Wyks book seem to fit.
