Lannea schweinfurthii

Lannea schweinfurthii is a small to medium-sized deciduous tree that belongs to the Anacardiaceae family. It is distributed across several African countries, including Botswana, Caprivi Strip, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Northern Provinces, Rwanda, Somalia, Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zaïre, and Zimbabwe. The tree is sometimes called 'bastard marula' or 'false marula' because it can be mistaken for the marula tree when it is not in bloom or bearing fruit. Extracts from the species are used in traditional human and veterinary medical practices.
