by Thomas Robertson Sim (1858-1938) Hippobromus alatus Eckl. & Zeyh.

Frequently growing as a tall, slender sapling and accordingly prized as wattle for hut-building.

Leaves 75 mm to 150 mm long, paripinnate with some 5 pairs of leaflets which are extremely variable in shape, wedge-shaped at the base, entire, dentate or deeply lobed, sessile and winged on the rachis between leaflets.

The wood and leaves contain a strongly scented resinous and oily substance, which renders them readily inflammable."

This tree is found along the east coast from the Eastern Cape, through KwaZulu Natal, Eswatini and further inland through the Transvaal up to the Soutpansberg.
