Description
provided by Flora of Zimbabwe
The occurrence of this species in a suburban garden in Harare is puzzling. There is no evidence that this species is cultivated in Zimbabwe although I suppose it is not impossible that it might be grown as a novelty for its strange fruits. It is a rare species in the Central Division with only one record in SRGH, namely Eyles 2915.
