10 Grewia microthyrsa Seeds - Lebombo Raisin - Indigenous Tree / Shrub Seeds

Grewia microthyrsa Seed

Common Name: Lebombo Raisin

The large flowering plant genus Grewia is today placed by most authors in the mallow family Malvaceae, in the expanded sense as proposed by in the APG. Formerly, it was placed in either the linden family (Tiliaceae) or the Sparrmanniaceae. However, these were both not monophyletic with respect to other Malvales - as already indicated by the uncertainties surrounding placement of Grewia and similar genera - and have thus been merged into the Malvaceae. Together with the bulk of the former Sparrmanniaceae, Grewia is in the subfamily Grewioideae and therein the tribe Grewieae, of which it is the type genus.

Grewia microthyrsa commonly known as Lebombo Raisin is an evergreen shrub or small tree. It is usually multi-stemmed. It has alternate, up to 6 cm long and 2.5 cm wide, oblong - ovate to elliptic, glossy dark green on the underside leaves with smooth or slightly toothed leaf margins. The small, off-white to pale yellow flowers appear in terminal clusters. These are followed by edible fruit up to 1.3 cm long. They are pear-shaped and reddish-brown when ripe.
