Wikipedia Abstract

Widdringtonia schwarzii (Willowmore cypress or Willowmore cedar, Afrikaans: Baviaanskloof-seder) is a species of Widdringtonia native to South Africa, where it is endemic to the Baviaanskloof and Kouga Mountains west of Port Elizabeth in Eastern Cape Province; it occurs on dry rocky slopes and crags at 600-1,200 m altitude. It is threatened by habitat loss, particularly by wildfire. The Willowmore Cedar is a protected tree in South Africa. It was formerly often called "Willowmore cedar" but has been renamed Willowmore cypress to better reflect its botanical relationships.
