Schotia brachypetala (African Walnut)

Schotia brachypetala, the Weeping Boer-bean, is a leguminous flowering tree. The woodland tree is native to Africa south of the Zambezi River, where it occurs at middle altitudes. It is well-suited as shade or ornamental tree in warmer regions, and is consequently widely cultivated in gardens and parks. It is named for the copious nectar that drips from its flowers, which attracts various species of birds and insects. It is known by various other names, including Tree Fuchsia, African Greenheart and African Walnut.
