Ozoroa paniculosa

Ozoroa paniculosa (previously Heeria paniculosa), commonly known as the bushveld ozoroa or common resin tree, is a small tree belonging to the mango family or Anacardiaceae.

This genus currently has some 28 species and occurs from southern Africa to the Arabian Peninsula.

This deciduous dioecious tree's silvery-green alternate or whorled, simple, discolorous leaves show distinctive parallel secondary venation, and are silky-tomentose on the under-surface.

Drooping creamy-white panicles of fragrant flowers are produced at the ends of new shoots.

The fruits which are initially light-green in colour and borne on salmon-pink peduncles, become speckled with reddish-brown and later turn completely black and wrinkled.
