Pterocarpus angolensis bearing fruit
Image information
Description
Bloodwood, Transvaal teak or kiaat (Afrikaans) has compound leaves that are hairy underneath.
The dark coloured bark is rough with longitudinal fissures on old stems.
The orange-yellow pea-type flowers appear in large sprays.
The bloodwood name originates from the red sap exuded when live stems are sawn (Coates Palgrave, 2002; iNaturalist; www.plantzafrica.com).
