Searsia leptodictya is known as mountain karee in English, bergkaree in Afrikaans, and mohlwehlwe in Sotho.

An evergreen tree reaching a height of 5 metres and a similar spread, it is drought resistant but only semi frost hardy.

It is an attractive small tree with a rounded crown and a pleasing weeping effect.

The tree bears small white flowers, which on female trees turn into bunches of small berry type fruit, which attract birds who feed on the berries.
