Searsia pyroides, previously known as Rhus pyroides, (common currant-rhus English, gewone taaibos Afrikaans, nhlokoshiyane isiZulu) is a species of Searsia, native to southern Africa.

This tree occurs throughout the whole of South Africa, a part of Botswana, Zimbabwe and Tanzania and in some areas of Namibia near Windhoek.

It is found in bushveld, dry thornveld, on rocky hillsides, termite mounds, water courses and even on the fringes of forests.

The leaves are attractive and trifoliolate and it sometimes has large, woody thorns.

The male and female flowers are borne on separate trees and the female trees bear small fruits 3–4 mm in diameter, which turn red when ripe.
