Cleistanthus schlechteri
False tamboti is a tree from the wet tropical forests of East and southern Africa, grown mainly in its native range rather than as a garden plant. Its care needs are poorly documented, so treat it as a warm, humid tropical tree.
Cleistanthus schlechteri is a plant species first described by Pax, with its current name after Hutchinson; it is included in the family Phyllanthaceae.
