Wikipedia Abstract

Apodytes dimidiata (umDakane or white pear) is a bushy tree, with white fragrant flowers and small, dark red berries. It is usually about 5 m tall (but reaches a height of 20 m when growing in deep forest), and it is indigenous to Southern Africa. The taxonomical family placement for this and other Apodytes was uncertain; it is now placed in the Metteniusaceae. (Despite its English name, this tree is not related to the familiar pear tree of the northern hemisphere.)
