Chionanthus foveolatus, commonly known as the pock ironwood or bastard ironwood, is a medium-sized, evergreen, Afromontane tree that is native to South Africa, Eswatini and Malawi.

[1] Chionanthus foveolatus occurs at medium to high altitudes in habitats ranging from bushy or rocky hillsides and mountainous forests to coastal scrub.

It has scaly grey bark and bears clusters of sweetly scented, cream-white flowers from September to December.

It is related to the familiar edible olive, and likewise produces fleshy, ovoid, fruits which become black when ripe.

It grows well in full sun or semi-shade.
