Peltophorum africanum, the weeping wattle, is a semi-deciduous to deciduous flowering tree growing to about 15 meters tall.
Their yellow flowers bloom on the ends of branches in upright, showy sprays.
[1] During spring time it may happen that water drips from the tree's branches, a phenomenon that is caused by the spittlebug Ptyelus grossus.
The immature stages of these spittlebugs congregate on the young shoots and derive their nourishment by sucking the tree's sap.
[2] It is called Huilboom (i.e. weeping tree) in Afrikaans, due to the effects of the spittlebug.
