Camptolepis ramiflora

Camptolepis ramiflora is a small tree in the soapberry and maple family, native to the coastal and seasonally dry areas of East Africa, with localised populations and a range that extends to Madagascar and the Comoros. Little is documented about cultivation, so it is mainly of interest to botanists and conservationists rather than home gardeners.
